Seven past six. Now for the better 12 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,519 Speaker 2: part of the afternoon. Various digital sites lead with the 13 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 2: pole that has won the Labor group forming a government, 14 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 2: and two Hipkins overtaking Luxon as preferred leader. Now, the Pole, 15 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 2: I'm here to tell you this morning, is full of holes, 16 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:42,919 Speaker 2: and I wouldn't put any more weight on it than 17 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 2: I would any other individual set of numbers. But was 18 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 2: the fact that was so heavily covered In fact, it's 19 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 2: on the print version of the Herald as a lead 20 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 2: story this morning, It's on the television last night, television 21 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 2: news last night as well. Was the fact that was 22 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 2: so heavily covered so widely and so long because one 23 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 2: the media are biased and this suits their narrative, or 24 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 2: two it is in fact significant when one leader leap 25 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 2: frogs another and the government grouping is no longer supported 26 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 2: by enough people to stay in power. Should the imaginary 27 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 2: election be held today? Forgetting for a moment that a 28 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 2: pole is only a snapshot, and more importantly, all over 29 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 2: the world these days, poles increasingly account for little of anything. 30 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 2: Let us just quickly dissect why it is not worth much. 31 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 2: The Greens are up over three to ten. Not real? 32 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 2: They have grown almost a third more support, have they? 33 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 2: How it hasn't happened? The Maory Party up over two 34 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 2: to six. Hasn't happened? They've grown a third more of 35 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 2: their support, have they as well? To reach a number 36 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 2: they've never come close to. How's that happened? It's not real? 37 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 2: Act have dropped over two to seven point seven. Now 38 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 2: that might might have happened if the lunch pushback is real. 39 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 2: Hipkins up three possible He's had some good coverage of 40 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 2: late still barks at most cars. But if you're sick 41 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 2: of luxen and Hipkins isn't irritating you too much, maybe 42 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 2: you're warming to them. But here is what I know 43 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 2: from forty odd years of radio rating small players i aie. 44 00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 2: The Maray Party, of the Green Party, of the Act Party. 45 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 2: They don't move in such large numbers unless something materially 46 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 2: has changed, and nothing materially has changed. But big butt, 47 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 2: whether you accept the numbers or not, it comes at 48 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 2: a very bad time for the government, who are dealing 49 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 2: with an ongoing, if not mounting, amount of commentary around 50 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 2: the PM and his ability to be a PM. We 51 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 2: can all connect with quite a bit of recent commentary 52 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 2: may or may not have come directly from his appearance 53 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 2: on this show. So these numbers merely extend out the 54 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 2: broader idea that, for whatever reason, Old Luxo has never 55 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 2: really got alongside your average key. We have been accepted 56 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 2: as one of us. And whether you accept the numbers 57 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 2: or not, the real politic is backbenches get nervous, and 58 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 2: when they're nervous, the chatter starts. 59 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 4: Wo News of the world. 60 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 2: In ninety second, ten miles off the East Yorkshire coasts, 61 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 2: it's all gone horribly wrong as one ship, seemingly on 62 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 2: autopilot ran into another ship happily packed so. 63 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 5: Long has collided with tanker Stenna Immaculate in the outer anchorage. 64 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 5: Both vessels are abandoning. Senna Immaculate is carrying Jet E 65 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 5: one fuel which is on fire. 66 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 2: And here's a maritime risk expert. 67 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 6: You won't have a lookout on the bridge necessarily, but 68 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 6: if you think about it, there's not much you can 69 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 6: do if you do see it looming at you because 70 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 6: you're an anchor. You can't unless you cut your cable 71 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 6: pretty quickly, you're not gonna be able to get. 72 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 7: Out of the way. 73 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 2: The riscue was faster and than imprisible. 74 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 8: They've done an incredible job in turning their vessels into 75 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 8: emergency vehicles out at sea. And I just want to 76 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 8: say big thank you to the Coast Guard as well 77 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 8: all of those from the East Coast who've gone out 78 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 8: to help in this emergency situation. 79 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 2: Rd'll head more on this letter on the program. In Canada, 80 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 2: we have a new leader and eventually apply. Minister make Conney, 81 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 2: who's been running banks, has decided he wouldn't mind running 82 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 2: a country started with some gloves off and talk. 83 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 9: Canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves, 84 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 9: so any Americans they should make no mistake in trade 85 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 9: as in hockey, Canada will. 86 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 2: Win on tariffs. VW might have an exempt from this 87 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 2: morning BMW though don't. I'll tell you more shortly about 88 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 2: that and how that works. But I mean, the whole 89 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 2: thing basically is a mess. And the big worry is 90 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 2: this escalates. This is deeply destructive what they're doing. 91 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 6: We need to make that case the American people because 92 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 6: they're going to feel it. 93 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 2: But you know, taking our eye off the ball, I 94 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 2: think is very dangerous, which means you've got to roll 95 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 2: out a Trump crony to run some spin. 96 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 10: Anybody who bats against Donald Trump, it's like the same 97 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 10: people who thought Donald Trump wasn't in a winner a 98 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 10: year ago. Donald Trump is a winner. He's going to 99 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 10: win for the American people. That's just the way it's 100 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 10: going to be. He's going to win big recession in America. 101 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 2: He's going to win big lee. Finally, if you missed 102 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 2: yesterday afternoon, that caravan full of extravatives they got all 103 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 2: excited about Sydney back in January, turns out to be 104 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 2: a hoax. For a while, it was an anti Semitic 105 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 2: terror plot. Of course, coppers had it figured, they claim 106 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 2: right from the get go. The caravan was too easily found, 107 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 2: that the explosives weren't concealed and there was no detonator. 108 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 2: They're now looking at charges for the person who quote 109 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 2: unquote pulled the strings. That as news of the world 110 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 2: of night. By the way, keep an eye on utel Set. 111 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 2: This is a French company. Utel Set had quite a 112 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 2: good week last week on the market, went up seventy 113 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,919 Speaker 2: seven percent on Tuesday, went up one hundred and twenty 114 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 2: percent on Wednesday, into the week up three hundred and 115 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 2: eighty seven percent. Why they think utel Set might well 116 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 2: replace Stylink in Ukraine A name to remember. Twelve past six. 117 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: The mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio Call 118 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: It by News Talks. 119 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 2: Be Fun Fact Tuesday. Over half of couples now fifty 120 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 2: two percent in fact, this is a survey, real wedding 121 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 2: study by the not fifty two percent of couples by 122 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 2: lab Grownd diamonds these days one k or one carrot 123 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,559 Speaker 2: lab Grownd diamonds about eight hundred and forty five bucks 124 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 2: versus a regular one which is thirty eight hundred dollars. 125 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 2: So you can see where the market's going there, can't you. 126 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 2: Fifteen past second son, Buddy how from JMI Wealth Andrew 127 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 2: Keller her good morning, very good morning, Mike, how good? 128 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 2: A Fontierra, how good? 129 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 11: Well, I'll skip over the price section the US sharemaker 130 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 11: overnight because that's that's not good. That's a very ugly 131 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 11: starts the week. That's not the case for Fonterra. No, 132 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 11: they gave a positive update yesterday for their twenty five 133 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 11: financial year earnings guidance, and Micael, I think we've talked before. 134 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 11: Let's philosophize for a minute show. I think we've talked 135 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 11: before about how when you get positive announcers for a company, 136 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 11: they tend to come and a run. You know, good 137 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 11: news breeds good news. It does tend to work the 138 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 11: other way as well. But Fonterra it's on a roll. 139 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 11: So they've increased the fully earnings guidance from forty to 140 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 11: sixty cents per year to fifty five to seventy five 141 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 11: cents per share. 142 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 4: So that's a meaningful lift. 143 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 11: So those supplies out there who own shares receive a 144 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 11: distribution from Fonterra on top of the forecast farm gate 145 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 11: milk payout. So that's they're looking at ten lows, if 146 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 11: not slightly more. Then they get this extra distribution as well, 147 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 11: So that's just more money flowing into the agri sector. 148 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 11: It reflects the strength of the core ingredients business and 149 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 11: the resilience of the consumer channel. Now there are Fonterians 150 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 11: that trade openly on ins and X. Yes, they climbed 151 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 11: to five dollars forty five. That's up over five percent 152 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 11: or six percent on the day actually now trading levels 153 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 11: we haven't seen for six seven years, I think. And 154 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 11: what do you reckon to Mainland Group, Mike? 155 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 4: Do you like the sound of. 156 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 2: Maine do well? It depends on what they do with it. 157 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 2: If they IPO, it'll just flick it off, is the 158 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 2: big question, isn't it. 159 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 11: Yeah, So busy day for fon Terry yesterdays. They announced 160 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 11: the zernings up great, but they also started their roadshow 161 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 11: meetings relating to the divestment of what is its global 162 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 11: consumer associated businesses. So they're working through a dual process, Mike. 163 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 11: They're looking at a trade sale or you know which 164 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 11: is selling the whole thing lock stock and smoking barrel 165 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 11: or an IPO which means Mainland Group as it's been called, 166 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 11: would be listed on the inside X. Now listeners out 167 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 11: there and you and I could buy shares, which would 168 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 11: be a huge boost to ins X. Admittedly very early days, 169 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 11: no real indication of which avenue they will take yet. 170 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 11: It would be a big part of the INCID index 171 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 11: enz X index that became out. Mike me talking to 172 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 11: a standalone business with revenue close to five billion dollars. 173 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 11: Two hundred million dollars worth of earnings probably go straight 174 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 11: into the top ten index and we'll just wait and 175 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 11: see how that how that process goes. Obviously a lot 176 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 11: of questions as to why they're doing it, but they 177 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 11: say they need to concentrate on what there's their core business, 178 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 11: which is that production collection of the milk solids. 179 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't agree with them on that, but that's 180 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 2: been another day. These bank capital ratio, So Nicola Willis 181 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 2: is involved with us, and I'll talk to the Prime 182 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 2: Minister about this later, but this is this is interesting 183 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 2: to see where this goes as well. 184 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm raising this MC because I suspect that this 185 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 11: isn't going away and it potentially impacts a lot of 186 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 11: New Zealanders, you know, whereas we can talk about the 187 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 11: funding of the Reserve Bank till we're blue in the face. 188 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 11: But this one actually affects people because amids the speculation 189 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,079 Speaker 11: around the resignation last week of Arbenzaid governor Or and 190 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 11: his subsequent immediate departure. One of the points of potential 191 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 11: contention between the government, the rbn said is bank capital ratios. 192 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 11: As I say, I think this becomes a bigger topic now. 193 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 11: The b and Z and their Weekly Economic commentary yesterday 194 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 11: raising interesting points. I'll just work through this. In twenty nineteen, 195 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 11: the RBNZ increased required bank capital ratios. For every dollar 196 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 11: of loans, the bank needs to hold a certain amount 197 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 11: of capital. Now, these new high ratios are being phased 198 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 11: in over time. I think they started phasing them in 199 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 11: twenty twenty two. I think it's over seven or eight 200 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 11: years now. The RBNZ was applying a theoretical test around 201 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 11: an untoward economic event a liquidity shock, using a one 202 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 11: and two hundred year event. That's tougher than they use 203 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 11: in Australia they only use a one in one hundred 204 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 11: year event. Governor reminster finances being restrictive. Therefore, it'll become 205 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 11: a point of discussion between the Central Bank and the government. 206 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,959 Speaker 11: BNZ suggests that if the proposed path is moderated. Banks 207 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 11: would have to hold less capital, Monetary conditions become more stimulatory, 208 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 11: banks can lend more. Therefore, you wouldn't need as lower 209 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 11: cash rate, which is an interesting an interesting consequence. Look, 210 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 11: I think it was also talked about yesterday the Parliamentary 211 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 11: Committee when the bank leaders appeared before son't this isn't 212 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 11: going away. There's more to come on this. Where does 213 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 11: the new governor said on this when they get a 214 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 11: new governor? 215 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 2: Yep, these are good points, Andrew, That's why we pay 216 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 2: you the big bucks. What are the numbers? How about 217 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 2: that now? 218 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,959 Speaker 11: A yeah, well it's all looking quite sick, particularly the 219 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 11: nasdown and then Nazuk at the moment flirting with a 220 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 11: four percent loss on the session. It's three point eight 221 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 11: six at the moment, a loss in the three percent. 222 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 11: We see, we do see that from timetime it clicks 223 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,959 Speaker 11: over into four. That's pretty ugly. Tesla under a pretty 224 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 11: un under a lot of pressure, Apple under pressure, and 225 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 11: Video under pressure. They're all worried about recession. Mike Trump 226 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 11: is going to have to deal with this at some point. 227 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 11: Dal Jones is down one and a half percent, forty two, 228 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 11: one hundred and thirty five the s and P five 229 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 11: hundred down two point four percent five six three oh, 230 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,559 Speaker 11: and has said the Nazak three point eighty five percent four. 231 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 2: That's down seven. 232 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 11: Hundred points seventeen thousand, four hundred and ninety nine overnight. 233 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 11: That puts you one hundred lost point nine two percent 234 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,599 Speaker 11: eighty six double oh.

Not all their cars, 267 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,599 Speaker 2: but the cars are making America are exempt. BMW do not. 268 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 2: But even though that BMW apparently they do make cars. 269 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 2: I know they make cars in Carolina, in fact, they 270 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 2: make cars in America, they're not exempt. Stillentis are exempt 271 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 2: as well, so some are, some aren't.

They thanked 273 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,079 Speaker 2: Trump and they pledged to grow the US operations, which 274 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 2: of course is exactly what Trump wants. He wants more 275 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 2: locally produced cars, which is fine, there's nothing wrong with that. 276 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 2: But you've got these companies, some in some out, some 277 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 2: in Europe going well, hold on, can we negotiate then 278 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 2: before you get to Australia.

Surely the 302 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 2: serious money to be made from that model, Andy, I 303 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 2: couldn't agree with you more. And I've said this on 304 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 2: the program several times. What Fonterra going down that track. 305 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 2: It's not like they don't already do it, And it's 306 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 2: not like they're moving into something they don't know anything about. 307 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 2: It's not like they're moving into car production. They already 308 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 2: make these products. There's all ready value add. They just 309 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 2: say we want to concentrate on bolk goods and I 310 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 2: cannot for the life of me. And we need to 311 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 2: get Old Miles on the program and he can explain 312 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 2: it to us. 313 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 12: All. 314 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 2: I just cannot, for the life of me work out 315 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 2: while you think bulk is better than value add anyway, 316 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 2: stand by for the news. 317 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: The news and the news make it the My Hosking, 318 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: Breakfast with al Vida, Retirement Communities, Life your Way News, 319 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: togsad be. 320 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 2: Now come to Malcolm Turonble. The reason I mentioned Malcolm 321 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 2: Turon Bull is twofold one. Late last night Trump let 322 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 2: lucid them, mainly because he was on Bloomberg Television saying 323 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 2: a bunch of stuff he probably shouldn't have said, given 324 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 2: it such a difficult time for Australia at the moment. 325 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 2: But you go back to the Albanize phone call that 326 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 2: he had with Trump in the early days of the 327 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 2: Trump administration. He came out very buoyant and he started 328 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 2: talking about exemptions and all that sort of stuff. None 329 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 2: of it's going to happen, so it's going to be 330 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 2: an ugly time. And there's also growing pressure on Albanize. 331 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 2: He should have been on a plane to Washington to 332 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 2: try and twist some arms, but he hasn't. He sort 333 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 2: of can't because he's got an electure. Meantime, all of 334 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 2: this is playing out materially on the market. As Andrew 335 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 2: mentioned to Miama Togo, just a couple of months ago, 336 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 2: the Nasdak crashed through that four percent fall, which is material. 337 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 2: So the Nasdak down seven hundred plus. The Dow Jones 338 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 2: is down over seven hundred as we speak. And that's 339 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 2: all because Trump decided that we might well be heading 340 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 2: for a recession. But don't worry, it'll all be okay. 341 00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 2: Problem there's not many people believe them. 342 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 10: In America. There's going to be still recession in America. 343 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 2: Whatever. We have catspine Field in France on similar matters, 344 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 2: and of course there is a military meeting the Coalition 345 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 2: or so called Coalition of the Willing, of which Australia 346 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 2: is a part of. As far as I understand, I'm 347 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 2: not sure we are, though I'll check on that with 348 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 2: the Prime Minister later on. Meantime, back here, the Wellington 349 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 2: Water shambles got another airing yesterday and one of the 350 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 2: outcomes of the meeting was another meeting. There was some 351 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 2: expectation that the chair would quit. That didn't happen. The 352 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 2: Wellington Water CEO pac do Pat Dockerty as well as 353 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 2: Pat Morning. So you came out all guns blazing for 354 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 2: Nick Leggart. He doesn't deserve to go. Do you think 355 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 2: ultimately he will go or not? 356 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 7: Look, at the end of the day, that's a decision 357 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 7: for the shareholders. But I'm hoping not. 358 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 2: Why not? 359 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 7: Look, he's made a huge contribution to the change and 360 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 7: culture of the organization. People have been reluctant to speak up. 361 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 7: Nick has been the visible champion of one of the 362 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 7: visible champions of that within the organization, and that would 363 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 7: send a very bad message of the first time we 364 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 7: put a hand up and say look, we've made a 365 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 7: mistake and we're fixing it, that the person at the 366 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:15,360 Speaker 7: head pays the price. That would just set us back 367 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 7: again for. 368 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 2: Everyone around the country hasn't followed this intricately. How many 369 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 2: of you guys are newish and thereforet's kind of not 370 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 2: your fault. And how many of you are still there? 371 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,120 Speaker 2: And I'm talking about the executive as well as the board. 372 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 2: How many of you still there that should be held responsible. 373 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 7: At the executive level, there's I think three out of 374 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 7: eight sort of long serving that are still there. On 375 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 7: the border, I don't think there's been anyone there longer 376 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 7: than three years. 377 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 2: Right, So what you would argue is, wh're you, We're fresh, 378 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,399 Speaker 2: we know what we're doing, we've got it under control. 379 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 2: Just let us try and get on with it. 380 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 7: Exactly, we're the ones turning over the stones and fixing this. 381 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 7: What we're trying to do is sorry mine, is it fixable? 382 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 13: Oh? 383 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,880 Speaker 7: Yes, Look there's been a culture of growing our ability 384 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 7: to deliver work and a culture of trusting our consultants 385 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 7: and contractors, and I believe in are more having a 386 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 7: bit more tension on that relationship holding people to account. 387 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 7: Now it's easily fixed and the staff are kin to 388 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 7: make the changes. 389 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 2: So you're what you're looking to do is simply put 390 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 2: that argument across and maybe hose a few counselors down 391 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 2: who I am assuming want heads to roll for political purposes, 392 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 2: so they can say, look, I got a scalp. 393 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 7: Some of them are supportive, some of them are very angry, 394 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 7: and they've got every reason to be. All I was 395 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 7: trying to do was present the other side of the 396 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 7: argument so that they have time to think about that 397 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 7: before writing. 398 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 2: The Prime Minister's comments last week post cabinet that this 399 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 2: whole organization isn't set up properly. 400 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 7: Is he right? 401 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 14: Oh? 402 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 7: Absolutely, Look that the solution for Wellington's water network is 403 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 7: a standalone company that can raise its own send out 404 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 7: its own invoices and borrow its own money and start 405 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 7: pouring some money into replacing our aging infrastructure. So that 406 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 7: is the absolute solution, and that's what we're trying to 407 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 7: do is fix this company so it can be the 408 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 7: basis of a new organization which is supposed to start 409 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 7: on one July twenty six. We don't want the performance 410 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 7: of well this Wellington Water to be an impediment to 411 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,439 Speaker 7: getting the right structure in place. So the promise is. 412 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 2: Bang on what happens on Friday. 413 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 7: At the meeting, we'll be revisiting there's value for money. 414 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 7: I expect that Rudy be in the chair's hands and 415 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 7: having another discussion about it. But they've now had the 416 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 7: report for a few days, they've heard our start of 417 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 7: the story, and I look forward to the debate. 418 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 2: All right, we'll probably get you back on talk about it, 419 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 2: but I appreciate it. Pat Docketing, Wellington Water CEO. Nothing 420 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 2: like meetings eight. Don't we all love meetings. It's nineteen 421 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:53,479 Speaker 2: minutes away from seven. Top economic advisor Don Ferrell out 422 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,360 Speaker 2: of Australia. He's the Trade Minister. He's over there, well 423 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 2: he wants to be over there, but it doesn't really 424 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 2: matter because they're going to say there are no exemptions 425 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 2: if I walk in. He says, this is Trump's top advisor, 426 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 2: Ken or Kevin Hassett. If I walk in with any 427 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 2: exemptions being considered and offer an exemption, I'll probably get 428 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 2: kicked out of the office. I doubt it's going to happen. Meantime, 429 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 2: Turnbull's on the television last night in America and Trump 430 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 2: gets word Malcolm Turnbull. This is what he says on 431 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 2: truth Social Malcolm Turnbull, former Prime Minister of Australia, who 432 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 2: was always leading that wonderful country from behind, never understood 433 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 2: what was going on in China, nor did he have 434 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 2: the capacity to do so. I always thought he was 435 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 2: weak and in effective, and obviously Australia agreed with me. 436 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 2: Turnbulls just appeared on Bloomberg talked about planned tariff's. Turnbull 437 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 2: said he expected Jijinping to take massive advantage of Trump's presidency. 438 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 2: Where Trump is chaotic, he will be consistent. Where Trump 439 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 2: is rude and abusive, he'll be respectful. And what that 440 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 2: will do is bill trust with countries. And there will 441 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 2: be many countries looking at China on one hand, Trump 442 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,880 Speaker 2: on the other, and they will prefer China. So any 443 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 2: exemption that Elbow wanted is well and truly gone. Seventeen 444 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:00,679 Speaker 2: to two. 445 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:06,159 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 446 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: by News Talks at. 447 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 2: Be getting some Fonterra pushback Mike Rmadieri farmer bolks become 448 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 2: value add It's a huge portion of our product makes 449 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,360 Speaker 2: sold with added expertise as opposed to consumer goods expensive 450 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 2: and in competition with ingredients businesses whom others like Nesle 451 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 2: and Mars are much better at ross.

How many are there and how willing are they? 462 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 14: All right? 463 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 13: So this is the meeting which is going to take 464 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 13: place probably just underd twenty hours from now here in Paris. 465 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,719 Speaker 13: We know that there will be at least thirty two 466 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 13: nations represented at this meeting in Paris. It will be 467 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 13: the chief of staff or somewhere else of a high 468 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 13: rank from each of these nations military. What they're looking 469 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:10,199 Speaker 13: at might is the creation of an international security framework 470 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 13: for or when there will be a cease fire as 471 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 13: a piece of some sort in Ukraine. The French making 472 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 13: it very clear that this is not going to be 473 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 13: people talking about going to the front line. This is 474 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 13: about guaranteeing a future piece in Ukraine once there is 475 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 13: a cease fire framework. And they also need to show 476 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,880 Speaker 13: that they are going to be able to take responsibility 477 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 13: for this coalition of the willing europe can do it, 478 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 13: which is why they say the US has not been invited, 479 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 13: specifically not been invited. Now, just a couple of hours ago, 480 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 13: the French military who are hosting this meeting, came out 481 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 13: and told journalists that when they're there, when they're at 482 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 13: the table, they're going to be asking these military chiefs 483 00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 13: what they can contribute. 484 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 2: What do you bring to the table. 485 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 13: They're going to ask them, not what do you think 486 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:04,959 Speaker 13: can it be done? They want to know what they 487 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:05,360 Speaker 13: can bring. 488 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 2: It'll be interesting. I know Australia say we've got the 489 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,360 Speaker 2: Prime minsterore on later. I just wonder if where they're 490 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 2: I'm not sure this intelligence thing, the US turning the 491 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 2: switches off, and maybe they've turned it back on. Who 492 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 2: the hell knows what's going on? Where are we at 493 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:16,399 Speaker 2: with it? 494 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 13: This has really got everyone worried. Yes, this idea that 495 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:25,120 Speaker 13: United States has if you restricted sharing of some military 496 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 13: intelligence has got Europeans military intelligence services. 497 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 2: You're stepping up a. 498 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 13: Gear and warning that this is just not going to 499 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 13: end well if you like. The head of Germany's security 500 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 13: intelligence has said that one of the worst things about 501 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 13: this now is that the Trump administration is taking a 502 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 13: different approach to nearly every conflict. So they said this 503 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 13: is making international securities concerns worse rather than better. And 504 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 13: the big point they're making miney is that no country 505 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 13: can fight these threats on their own. 506 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 2: So what they're saying is, look, we're seeing. 507 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 13: An uptick in Russian spying on Europe. We're seeing an 508 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 13: uptick of Russian planes in the skies above. Europe air 509 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 13: Force is going to have to be in the air more. 510 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 13: But the only way that they can do this is 511 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 13: by having a really complete sharing of information. And what 512 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 13: they're doing, and what they're saying here in France is 513 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 13: you please, the US cannot pull out of all this 514 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 13: just cannot walk away because it's just too much at 515 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 13: stake now. 516 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 2: Indeed, and there will be all eyes on read this 517 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 2: week and see what comes out of the talks. And 518 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 2: while you're dealing with all of that steel and aluminium. 519 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 2: I'm assuming it comes into place. Unless you've heard something 520 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 2: I haven't, it's. 521 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 13: Indeed meant to be coming into place twenty five percent 522 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 13: on steel and aluminium exports from the EU into the US. 523 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 13: I mean, just an example of the sort of change 524 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 13: of tone that we've heard in the past, it would 525 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 13: be a European commissioner coming forward and saying, well, we're 526 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 13: trying to work it out. 527 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 2: We're trying to work it out. 528 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 13: We've got our people there. The European Union's Trade commissioners 529 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 13: said just a few hours ago that the United States 530 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,640 Speaker 13: does not seem to be engaging to make a deal. 531 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 2: Feel like a weird time, Catherine. 532 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 13: It's spooky times. I never thought i'd live. 533 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:15,160 Speaker 14: To see this, mate. 534 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 2: Good on, you're nice to talk. Catherine Field in France 535 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 2: as Ring and Charlotte Gall the other day talking about 536 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 2: the nuclear umbrella in France and quoting Charlda Gaull, who 537 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 2: said Americans were more our friends than Russians, but the 538 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 2: US two had interests and one day their interests would 539 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 2: clash with ours. You said that quite a long time ago, 540 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,639 Speaker 2: ten minutes away from seven. 541 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:38,200 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking breakfast with Alveda Retirement Communities News togs 542 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: had been Mike, do. 543 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,199 Speaker 2: You think these poles are politically motivated? And should they 544 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 2: be investigated? No, No, they should not. You don't have 545 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 2: to accept them. But it's not a scandal. Not everything's 546 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 2: a conspiracy, Jef. 547 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 4: Mike, or isn't it? 548 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 2: What does your take on the Turnbull commentary? China does 549 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 2: play the long game. There is more than the little 550 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 2: truth of what Malcolm said, and say Malcolm wasn't right. 551 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 2: I think undoubtedly he is right. I'm just saying that 552 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 2: Trump doesn't like hearing that sort of talk. Then Trump 553 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 2: does stuff about it. Mike. The thing about China and 554 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 2: Turnbull is he might actually be right because the Chinese 555 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 2: played the long game and they'll be respectful through the 556 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 2: Trump presidency. And Trump isn't he is one hundred percent correct. 557 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 2: And of course the other thing you do, if you 558 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 2: don't like Trump, you're just holding your brief for another 559 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 2: three and a half years and it's done, Mike. The 560 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 2: midterms are going to be the key one. He's got 561 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 2: as money problems coming up and whether or not the 562 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 2: economy's going to close down. Two, he's got the midterms 563 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 2: coming up and the pushback, Believe me, he's going to 564 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 2: be massive coming from certain parts of the Republican Party. 565 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 2: And that's before you then get to the so called 566 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 2: legacy in twenty eight and whether or not you can 567 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,879 Speaker 2: find somebody who wants to try and rectify the damage 568 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 2: he's reeking on the American economy. Mike, I'm a Fontier farmer. 569 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,120 Speaker 2: I think the consumer business is too important to sell. 570 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,719 Speaker 2: It's what helps us connect to New Zealand, and it's 571 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 2: critical overseas and overseas markets they look at what we 572 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 2: do at home before buying grass feed all the way 573 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 2: as somebody who travels extensively. New Zealand's one of the 574 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 2: few places where cows are outdoor three hundred and sixty 575 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 2: five days a year. All that's important. That's my argument 576 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 2: as well, and I'm glad I'm not alone, and I 577 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 2: think that we're not covering it particularly well. It's not 578 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 2: getting the coverage it deserves given the size of Fontira 579 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 2: it's critically critically important to this country that it continues 580 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,400 Speaker 2: to do well. And there within their rights, well within 581 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 2: the rights to go look this side of the business. 582 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,360 Speaker 2: We want to have maybe an ipo it or flick 583 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 2: it off or whatever. But you've got to have the discussion. 584 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 2: You can't just go and do it. Tip Top I 585 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 2: think was a massive, massive mistake, and we let that happen. 586 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,120 Speaker 2: So at least let's have a bit of a conversation 587 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 2: about it. Five minutes away from seven. 588 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: The the ouse. It's the fizz with business fiber take 589 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 1: your business productivity to the next level. 590 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 2: Here is the nasdeck now crashes through four point eight 591 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 2: down seven hundred and thirty eight on the day. We 592 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 2: go back to mister Lutnick, who's been busy telling Americans 593 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 2: not to worry about the economy. 594 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 10: But there's going to be no recession in America. 595 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 2: New York Fedbank Survey of consumer expectations is out this morning. 596 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,439 Speaker 2: Things don't look flash. February inflation a year from now 597 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 2: is expected to be around three point one percent. Hold on, 598 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,719 Speaker 2: I thought we had inflation under control. Three point one 599 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,640 Speaker 2: percent not under control. The Fed wants at it too. 600 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 2: What's going on? Here, our consumers expect every day items 601 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 2: to increase in cost over the next year, things like 602 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 2: food and rent and gas in college, meta costs. They're wrong, 603 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 2: of course, because Trump told us this. Because when you 604 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 2: put the tariffs on, the prices don't go up at all, 605 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,719 Speaker 2: crusts go down. It's like magic, It's incredible what happens 606 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 2: be so beautiful, beautiful economy. They also expect unemployment, delinquency, 607 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 2: and credit access to noticeably deteriorate. There's the expectation that 608 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 2: home prices are going to increase by three point three percent. 609 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 2: Problem with that is, of course, is a home price 610 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:38,719 Speaker 2: going up good or bad? I mean, you know, if 611 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 2: you've got a home going up three point three percent, 612 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 2: you'll take that all day long. Most households rate the 613 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 2: current financial situation as quote little change, but expect that 614 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 2: over the next twelve months it's going to deteriorate considerably, 615 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 2: and those expecting it the worst of it report that 616 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 2: it's at its highest level since November of twenty three. 617 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 2: So if you're feeling bad, you're feeling really bad at 618 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 2: the moment. But fortunately none of it will affect us 619 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 2: because the American economy is isolated, is not remotely global 620 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 2: and we of course are rampaging fort economically anyway, so 621 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 2: we're completely isolated from all of this. And so that's 622 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 2: why we're going to India, is that if I explain 623 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 2: that well or not. So we're going to India to 624 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 2: try and finish off not that they think we will, 625 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 2: but I hope we do. But anyway, we're going to 626 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 2: try and finish off this ft aidea that we had 627 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 2: many many many many many years ago. And then we 628 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 2: had a Foreign Minister for the Labor Party who hated 629 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 2: playing say nothing at about a glance. So now we are, 630 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 2: we're finally going up with a very large delegation. Dame 631 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 2: Theresa Walsh is the head of that particular business delegation. 632 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 2: We'll talk to her directly after the news and then 633 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 2: of course the Prime Minister after seven thirty this morning 634 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 2: and just before he leaves the country for the Australian 635 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 2: Open New Zealand Open Champ. Paul Coles back with us 636 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 2: after eight. 637 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: The only report you need to start your day the 638 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: mi casking breakfast with the range Rover Villa designed to 639 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: intrigue and use Togsdad bently. 640 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 2: Seven past seven, So the long away to trip to 641 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 2: India for the Prime Minister's off this weekend. Large delegation 642 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 2: to mind you, it's a large market and an etta 643 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 2: is long sort but particularly tricky for a farming country 644 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 2: like ours. Anyway, Dameterris Walsh is leading the business delegation 645 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 2: and is with us. A very good morning to you, Mike. 646 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 2: How big is big. 647 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 15: In terms of the country or the delegation? 648 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 2: No, the delegation big. 649 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 3: Actually yeah, Look. 650 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 15: The delegation, I'm only being the business delegation along with 651 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 15: Ross Taylor, the former black Cat. We've got about forty 652 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 15: odd people coming on that delegation and then there's also 653 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 15: a community delegation coming along as well. 654 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 2: Are there specifics you are looking to achieve or is 655 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 2: this a glad handing exercise to warm the relationship? 656 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 15: Look, warming the relationship is important, but it's definitely it's 657 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 15: definitely more than that. I think there's a range of things. 658 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 15: I think we as a business community need to learn 659 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 15: more about India. There ideals that are currently being done 660 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 15: that will be talked about while we are there, and 661 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 15: there'll be no doubt for the arrangements that come off 662 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 15: the back of it. But it's a good chance to 663 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 15: get in front of you know, chambers of commerce, heads 664 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 15: of industry over there, and actually learn, make ourselves visible, 665 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 15: ensure that we really understand what the opportunities are for 666 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 15: New Zealand, because, as you said, at the outset a 667 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 15: massive economy for us and relatively proximate. 668 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 2: How much business do you know is done there anyway 669 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 2: in an FTA or whatever just comes in over the 670 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 2: top of that. 671 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 15: Well, at the moment, I think in terms of New 672 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 15: Zealand's experts it's about one point five percent of our 673 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 15: exports today, which is actually very small when you think 674 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 15: about the size of the economy in India and for 675 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 15: anyone that doesn't know, I mean, within five years it's 676 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 15: probably going to be the third largest economy in the world. 677 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 15: So we've got a lot of growth opportunity here and 678 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 15: in particular in the egg refection. But even outside of that, tourism, 679 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 15: tech education, there's just a lot there to unveil for 680 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 15: New Zealand. 681 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 2: I don't know if this is in your wheelhouse or not, 682 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 2: but I've got a lot of text traffic this morning 683 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 2: talking about the infrastructure or lack of in India. So 684 00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 2: in other words, yes, we want to do business and 685 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 2: they probably there's business with us, but when you come 686 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 2: to ports and stuff like that, connectivity is still an issue. 687 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 2: Is that fair or not? 688 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 16: It's sort of. 689 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 15: I mean, I think you know, for folks that have 690 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 15: been to India recently, there are parts of India that 691 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 15: are incredibly progressive. They've got a massive youth population that 692 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 15: are very tech savvy, and some cities are actually incredibly 693 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 15: progressive in different parts. When you talk about connectivity, it's 694 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 15: actually one of the things, speaking as the charity in 695 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 15: New Zealand that we're looking to get out of this 696 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 15: trippers to as we expand our network in the next 697 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 15: couple of years, as we get hold of aircraft, is 698 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 15: actually to look at flying to India. It's been something 699 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 15: we've been signaling and we will be meeting with folk 700 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 15: over there and making that part of the discussion. 701 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 2: I'm glad you raise that because I was going to 702 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 2: raise it anyway. It seems the weirdest thing that you 703 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 2: can have that size market in roughly our region and 704 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 2: we have no direct link. 705 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 3: Yeah. 706 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 15: Look, well I would agree with you, and I think 707 00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 15: you know, my favorite party trick is to ask people 708 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 15: if in New Zealand was to fly to one more 709 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 15: international destination. Where would it be and it's normally torn 710 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 15: between in there and the UK, and so yeah, look 711 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 15: it's absolutely on the top of our radar. As you know, Mike, 712 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 15: we're a little short on aircraft just at the moment 713 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 15: with worldwide challenges, but that's going to change and we're 714 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 15: really looking forward to that. 715 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 2: Nice to talk to you appreciate it. Dame Tories Walsh, 716 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 2: the India Business delegation lead the Prime Minister obviously on 717 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 2: this after seven thirty ten past seven related matters. Winston 718 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 2: Peter's going to meet Marco Rubio. He's heading to New 719 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 2: York and d C. A whole bunch of Trump administration 720 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 2: people and other political contacts, and a bunch of people 721 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 2: at the United Nations as well. So it's going to 722 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 2: be fascinating to see what comes out of that little 723 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 2: north of the border. Very big day for Canada as 724 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,240 Speaker 2: the governing party elected a new leader of Mark Carney, 725 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 2: after the resignation of course of Trudeau. Carney, you know 726 00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 2: his name from the Central Bank, are both in Canada 727 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 2: and in England or Britain. Usually Trudeau staying on as 728 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 2: Prime Minister while Carney warms into the role and an 729 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,960 Speaker 2: election has to be held before October. Bliven myle Otto 730 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 2: a bureau chief, Robert Fops with his Robert Morning, Good Morning. 731 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 2: I like him from his day's banking. Is he any 732 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:08,319 Speaker 2: good as a politician? 733 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 7: Do we know? 734 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:15,320 Speaker 14: Well, we don't know that actually, because he's when what 735 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,320 Speaker 14: we have seen of him is that he's kind of 736 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 14: a wooden speaker, not surprisingly for somebody who's been a 737 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:26,759 Speaker 14: central banker. And he doesn't really take questions very well, 738 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,880 Speaker 14: tough questions from reporters. He's used to more softball questions 739 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:36,440 Speaker 14: from financial reporters. And because he was the favorite to 740 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 14: win this race, he's he's been kind of avoiding a 741 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 14: lot of tough media questions. But he wanted an absolutely 742 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:49,919 Speaker 14: resounding victory on Sunday night, eighty six percent vote from 743 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:54,239 Speaker 14: the Party faithful, which is unheard of in recent times 744 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 14: to see somebody win in the leadership like that. And 745 00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 14: that's largely because Canadians are scared stiff of what Donald 746 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 14: Trump is up to with his trade war. 747 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 2: Let me come back to that in just a couple 748 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 2: of moments. The fact that he's warming into the job. 749 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,800 Speaker 2: The fact is anybody saying will look mt if you 750 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:10,719 Speaker 2: want the job, to get into being the prime minister. 751 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 2: Stride a wire or else? What are you doing? Does 752 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 2: anyone signing that? Or is it sort of this is 753 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 2: a good deal. 754 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,840 Speaker 14: Well, he will be Prime minister in the next coming days. 755 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 14: There's a transition to power, which he said will be 756 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 14: seamless and it will be quick. So we expect the 757 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 14: cabinet will be sworn in you know, Wednesday maybe at 758 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:33,160 Speaker 14: the earliest, or Priday at the latest. So that's not 759 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,040 Speaker 14: really the issue here. 760 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 2: Okay, is more of this? Is he more of the same? 761 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 2: Is he trueaut two point out or is he something 762 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:40,720 Speaker 2: completely different for the Liberals? 763 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 14: No, he's completely different. First of all, mister Kearney has 764 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 14: been the Bank of Canada governor for both Canada and 765 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:55,880 Speaker 14: the UK. He's enormously experienced. He knows a lot of 766 00:35:55,960 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 14: people in the business community and the international community at 767 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 14: the United Nations. Mister Trudeau came in as a charismenic 768 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,279 Speaker 14: son of a former prime minister, but he was only 769 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 14: a high school drama teacher. Mister Carney has Oxford University, 770 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 14: Harvard educated. This guy has a lot of really serious accomplishments. 771 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:19,480 Speaker 14: So you know nobody and that its accomplishments in handling 772 00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 14: the global financial crisis in two thousand and eight and 773 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:28,640 Speaker 14: Britain's briax Brexit was one of the reasons why you're 774 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 14: seeing a real surge in the polls from away from 775 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 14: the Conservative Party, which had been leading for a long 776 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,799 Speaker 14: time for over a year and a half, double digit 777 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:41,240 Speaker 14: numbers to mister Karney. In fact, when you ask Canadians 778 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:45,720 Speaker 14: who's the most capable person to deal with President Trump 779 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:50,879 Speaker 14: in his trade war, it's as ten to fifteen point 780 00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:56,080 Speaker 14: spread between mister Karney and Peter Polyev, who's the Conservative leader. 781 00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,320 Speaker 2: Everybody says it's a bioptyber. You got to hold a 782 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,160 Speaker 2: but but the going to go early? Is that fair 783 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:01,400 Speaker 2: or not? 784 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,359 Speaker 14: Oh? Yes, they by next week we'll be into an 785 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,600 Speaker 14: election campaign for either April twenty eighth or May fifth. 786 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,920 Speaker 14: They're going to go right now for two reasons. One, 787 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,719 Speaker 14: the momentum is in his way, and you know when 788 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 14: the mentum momentum is going your way, you have to 789 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,359 Speaker 14: you take advantage of it. But also, the Conservatives are 790 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:24,320 Speaker 14: cash rich, and they've been running attack ads in the 791 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,920 Speaker 14: last week or so on every medium they can find 792 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 14: to try to tear apart mister Kearney's reputation. But when 793 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:35,759 Speaker 14: an election is dropped, all the political parties are on 794 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,719 Speaker 14: an equal footing because of spending limits. So that's the 795 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,759 Speaker 14: second reason why they really want to get into an 796 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:45,359 Speaker 14: election right away to stop the Tory attack ads against them. 797 00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,200 Speaker 2: What a fascinating time, Robert will Stone touch. I appreciate it. 798 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 2: Robert fIF who's the Globe in Male Ottawa? Euroud chief? 799 00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,279 Speaker 2: You poll out Stateside for you in just a moment 800 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:54,240 Speaker 2: fifteen past. 801 00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 1: The mic asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio. 802 00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:00,640 Speaker 7: Howard by new talks. 803 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:00,680 Speaker 3: At be. 804 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,799 Speaker 2: Mike. How can Mark Carney be Canada's PM this week 805 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:06,640 Speaker 2: when he's not a member of Parliament, which is pretty 806 00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 2: much required under the Westminster system. Very good question. Quirk 807 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,040 Speaker 2: of Canadian law says you don't have to be in 808 00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,440 Speaker 2: parliament to become the leader of the party and therefore 809 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:18,239 Speaker 2: the Prime minister. In this case, they're called ridings, not electorates. 810 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 2: You get a riding. He's going to go have to 811 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,360 Speaker 2: find a riding, so he will stand in the election 812 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 2: as a candidate for the riding that he chooses, and 813 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:28,520 Speaker 2: I assume they'll take a fairly easy one so that 814 00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,880 Speaker 2: he actually wins it because it would be embarrassing if 815 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,200 Speaker 2: he didn't. But nevertheless, that is you have nothing illegitimate 816 00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,040 Speaker 2: about what has happened in the last twenty four hours. 817 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:40,279 Speaker 2: Unusual but not illegitimate. Approval rating below fifty percent. New 818 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,200 Speaker 2: poll out this morning in America for Trump, this is 819 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,919 Speaker 2: the Daily Mail Jail Partners approval rating has dropped five 820 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,799 Speaker 2: points in a week, from fifty four to forty nine. 821 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 2: The young people are deserting him eighteen to twenty nine. 822 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,439 Speaker 2: Is are down eighteen points. But that's young people, isn't. 823 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:55,920 Speaker 2: They don't know what they're I mean, they love it 824 00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,160 Speaker 2: one day, they hate it the next. Tariffs and the 825 00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,520 Speaker 2: economy seven and ten seventy percent feel the economy is worsening. 826 00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,960 Speaker 2: That's largely because it is. But here's the key, and 827 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,800 Speaker 2: here's why he might be okay for now seventy two percent. 828 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,000 Speaker 2: So they need to see the economy improved by next 829 00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:14,480 Speaker 2: year before they start blaming Trump. So he's got some 830 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:17,919 Speaker 2: tailwind and he's got the old honeymoon to a degree. 831 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:19,840 Speaker 2: Mikey seven Am News, and I've been thinking about this 832 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 2: is not a bad point. There's quite a bit of 833 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,520 Speaker 2: pushback on this. This morning year seven Am News made 834 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,319 Speaker 2: reference to the Maray economy and how much has grown 835 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,399 Speaker 2: in the past six years. Regardless of whether that's good 836 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,800 Speaker 2: for Maray, it's another example of separatism. Shouldn't we be 837 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,439 Speaker 2: striving for growing the New Zealand economy. I've thought about 838 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,560 Speaker 2: it a lot lately, and they do tend to segregate 839 00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,319 Speaker 2: it out, and for what reason I don't know. See 840 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:43,239 Speaker 2: Nitahu for example, South Island Tribe treaty settlement. A lot 841 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,239 Speaker 2: of money went their way, They've invested a lot, They've 842 00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,560 Speaker 2: done extremely well for themselves. Good luck to them. So 843 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,200 Speaker 2: are they part of the New Zealand economy or the 844 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,000 Speaker 2: Marrie economy? And how do you promote that? Do you 845 00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,120 Speaker 2: say we're part of the When you go to the world, 846 00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,720 Speaker 2: do you explain the Marie economy versus the New Zealand economy. 847 00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:02,360 Speaker 2: I'm not overly exercised about it, per se, certainly not 848 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,400 Speaker 2: as exercised I as I am about a health report 849 00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:09,120 Speaker 2: that came out unfortunately on a Friday, and didn't get 850 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,560 Speaker 2: anywhere near the coverage it needed. So we'll talk to 851 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,719 Speaker 2: the Prime Minister. But more I'll just background it for 852 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:15,680 Speaker 2: you in just a couple of moments. Seven twenty. 853 00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:22,240 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio Power 854 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,160 Speaker 1: by newstalksp. 855 00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,000 Speaker 2: You're a business leader, how important the old content generation 856 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,120 Speaker 2: is a these days? And whether you're producing things like 857 00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,799 Speaker 2: technical documentation, customer messages, knowledge articles at scale and speed 858 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 2: and effectiveness, that's all vital. So the question for you 859 00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,000 Speaker 2: this morning, what if AI could help you with those workflows, 860 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,840 Speaker 2: automating that production of content and with your own unique 861 00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:47,440 Speaker 2: style and brand tone. Because that's the brilliance of AI anyway. 862 00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,000 Speaker 2: One that's sister company, Grizzly AI have built a safe 863 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,320 Speaker 2: and secure path for risk averse businesses to access this 864 00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,600 Speaker 2: generative AI and Grizzly AI software. It means basically, you 865 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:59,240 Speaker 2: can generate content much more effectively than any AI model 866 00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 2: you may have used today. So that's impressed. If you 867 00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,000 Speaker 2: want to make a profit, and who doesn't, one net 868 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,360 Speaker 2: dot co dot inzent your address.

Get on top 871 00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,920 Speaker 2: of it, understand it. One netplus Grizzly the AI they 872 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:18,879 Speaker 2: are your partners in productivity. PASKI now seventy twenty three. 873 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,680 Speaker 2: So my long held suspicion oft produced for the Prime 874 00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,000 Speaker 2: Minister on Tuesday mornings, that the public service might well 875 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:28,520 Speaker 2: be working against the government seems to have been laid 876 00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,920 Speaker 2: bare on the Deloitte report into the failed health system. 877 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,880 Speaker 2: So as you'll be aware, we're going back to a 878 00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,440 Speaker 2: board from the commissioner. But what the report seems to 879 00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,360 Speaker 2: indicate is the board or commissioner is not really the issue. 880 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,360 Speaker 2: The issue is in competence. The factor board was replaced 881 00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,480 Speaker 2: is not about whether it's a board. It's about the 882 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:48,000 Speaker 2: fact they never had control of the money. They didn't 883 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,880 Speaker 2: have a plan. They were hopeless, and hopelessness is hopelessness 884 00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:55,120 Speaker 2: no matter what the shape of it is. Structurally, more 885 00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:58,480 Speaker 2: worryingly is the reportage that tells us what they wanted 886 00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:02,840 Speaker 2: wasn't adhered to. It wasn't listened to, it wasn't acted on. Obviously, 887 00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,280 Speaker 2: in theory, a good governance structure would see this particular 888 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,680 Speaker 2: pushback in that go and fix it. But you hadn't. 889 00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:10,880 Speaker 2: Competence and rejection dovetailing together, the end result being the 890 00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,600 Speaker 2: chaos that ensued. Now the report in furs the government 891 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:15,920 Speaker 2: would have been better sticking with twenty Health boards. For 892 00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:17,800 Speaker 2: goodness sake. Now, my argument, if you've been listening to 893 00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,520 Speaker 2: the program for a few years, my argument was always 894 00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:22,319 Speaker 2: in a country the size I reckon, we needed about 895 00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,320 Speaker 2: four DHBs. That felt about right to me. The andrew 896 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,320 Speaker 2: Little centralized system always had a Soviet vibe about it, 897 00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,520 Speaker 2: and then when your centralized system was overseen by buffoons, 898 00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,920 Speaker 2: you got the result. You did critical critical line in 899 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:40,520 Speaker 2: the report. The center made requests, the district ignored them. 900 00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:48,760 Speaker 2: That's sabotage. There were no supporting action plans, ownership, budget impacts, tracking, 901 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:53,800 Speaker 2: reporting or governments none. Health New Zealand did not have 902 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,759 Speaker 2: the right executable board level controls. This is yet more 903 00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 2: labor party and competency. Of course, all ideology, no delivery. 904 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:01,960 Speaker 2: By the time you had the Brian Roche report out 905 00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,560 Speaker 2: the other day into the public service generally, surely we 906 00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:06,520 Speaker 2: have a case that shows not only do we have 907 00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,320 Speaker 2: a bloated structure of too many people, but many of 908 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,680 Speaker 2: those in that bloated structure and bloating are hopeless and 909 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:18,040 Speaker 2: or undermining what is trying to be done. Doge anyone 910 00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,320 Speaker 2: asking Mike On the last night's news there was a 911 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,040 Speaker 2: story about the increasing value of these mariassets. Tooko Morgan 912 00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:27,040 Speaker 2: hah ha, tooko Seid. Our people have managed to break 913 00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:30,200 Speaker 2: the shackles of dependency on the crown. To me, that's 914 00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,000 Speaker 2: good news. So why do the Mari Party in the 915 00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,360 Speaker 2: media forever portray Marie as a bunch of no hopes, 916 00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,160 Speaker 2: continuously demanding hand auts with a very very good question, 917 00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:40,719 Speaker 2: if you look at the so called Mario So there's 918 00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:42,040 Speaker 2: two parts of this. Do you look at the Mari 919 00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,040 Speaker 2: economy or just the economy. So let's look at the 920 00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,600 Speaker 2: Mari economy. There are lots of people in the Marie 921 00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:50,080 Speaker 2: economy who've done and out of treaty settlements, hundreds of 922 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,800 Speaker 2: millions of dollars collectively billions have gone into the so 923 00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,080 Speaker 2: called Maria economy and many, many, many of them have 924 00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:58,160 Speaker 2: done extremely well. They're very sharp, astute operators, and they've 925 00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:02,000 Speaker 2: grown their portfolios exponentially, and good luck to them. But 926 00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:06,240 Speaker 2: you wouldn't want that to be part of the discourse 927 00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,320 Speaker 2: because then you'd have nothing to moan about, would you, 928 00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,719 Speaker 2: And so Debbie and co. Just want to moan incessantly. 929 00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,600 Speaker 2: People are John Tamahery got a PhD in misery and 930 00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:15,400 Speaker 2: so that's all they know how to deal with and 931 00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:20,279 Speaker 2: so it doesn't suit there their modus operandi if they 932 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,440 Speaker 2: have to spend their days explaining how successful Murray have become, 933 00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,400 Speaker 2: because then they couldn't keep their hand out asking for 934 00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:29,719 Speaker 2: even more, could they? Surely you can join those dots. 935 00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:31,719 Speaker 2: Can't be that hard, can it? Prime Minister's off to 936 00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:34,160 Speaker 2: it anyway? More on this health report, once again disappointed 937 00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:36,080 Speaker 2: it it wasn't given the sort of coverage. Did I 938 00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,200 Speaker 2: do want to know? Are we part of the coalition 939 00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,759 Speaker 2: of the willing? Because there is, as Catherine pointed out 940 00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,479 Speaker 2: quite rightly, there's big military meeting. As listening to Richard 941 00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:47,399 Speaker 2: Marles yesterday who's the Defense Minister of Australia, he says 942 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,880 Speaker 2: that they're going to be there. They're being represented by 943 00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:53,080 Speaker 2: the Vice Marshal and one called die Turtan. Australia's there. 944 00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:55,160 Speaker 2: They're handing over the tanks, they're handing over the money. 945 00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:56,920 Speaker 2: They are part of the coalition of the willing? 946 00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:57,400 Speaker 1: Are we? 947 00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,000 Speaker 2: And if we are? In what form? The Prime minitere 948 00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:02,279 Speaker 2: for a Tuesday morning as with us, and of course 949 00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:04,319 Speaker 2: we may well touch on the polls as well, after 950 00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 2: the news, which is next. You're a news talks. 951 00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:20,319 Speaker 1: The New Zealand's voice of reason is Mike the Mic 952 00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:24,320 Speaker 1: asking breakfast with Bailey's real estate, finding the buyers others 953 00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,040 Speaker 1: can't use togs, dead b Paul. 954 00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:28,960 Speaker 2: New Zealand Squash Open of course, packed house and Christus 955 00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,520 Speaker 2: record crowd for a squash teamam in New Zealand, which 956 00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,040 Speaker 2: is good. Anyways, after Australian they take on the Australians. 957 00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:37,520 Speaker 2: That tournament starts Today's Got to Buy, So I'm assuming 958 00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:39,720 Speaker 2: he's backing himself for the Australian opened as well.

We need to see the 984 00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:39,440 Speaker 16: shape of the settlement. 985 00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:41,040 Speaker 2: Ask you about it. A couple of weeks ago, we 986 00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,279 Speaker 2: were need close working at a decision on boots on 987 00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:43,840 Speaker 2: the ground or not. 988 00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,239 Speaker 16: No, no, we need it's just all too premature and 989 00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:51,279 Speaker 16: too much speculation or you know, we've we'll go through 990 00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,960 Speaker 16: these meetings tomorrow and we'll see where it's at. We 991 00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,440 Speaker 16: keep monitoring it really closely, but you know, we really 992 00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:59,000 Speaker 16: do need to see the shape of a settlement. You know, 993 00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:03,719 Speaker 16: obviously present Zlensky's in Saudi Arabia today and conversations with 994 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,920 Speaker 16: the US and Ukraine, which is important. You know, they happening, 995 00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:08,920 Speaker 16: which is important because they've got to work together to 996 00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:10,200 Speaker 16: get that piece that we need to see. 997 00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:13,640 Speaker 2: Okay, not enough coverage was given to this Deloitte report, 998 00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:18,040 Speaker 2: seventy seven pages into the health board slash commissioner, and 999 00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:19,480 Speaker 2: it goes back to what I've been asking you a 1000 00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:21,120 Speaker 2: number of times over the months, and that is do 1001 00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:23,560 Speaker 2: you think the public service actively work against you? 1002 00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:25,200 Speaker 4: Well? 1003 00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:28,080 Speaker 16: I don't think so, but it's just that I don't 1004 00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:30,520 Speaker 16: think there's been a clear expectation on the public service 1005 00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:32,640 Speaker 16: about what we want them to do. As I said 1006 00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:34,440 Speaker 16: to you in recent weeks, you know, I expect them 1007 00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:36,680 Speaker 16: to treat the public like a customer and the health system. 1008 00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:38,640 Speaker 16: I expect them to be focused on patients first and 1009 00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:41,120 Speaker 16: foremost come through that lens on every decision they make. 1010 00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:43,600 Speaker 16: And as you saw on that report, what we had 1011 00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:46,680 Speaker 16: was pretty woeful management of a complex healthcare system. And 1012 00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:49,439 Speaker 16: what I'm frustrated with, and I've talked to you about 1013 00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:51,279 Speaker 16: it before, is you know, we've put record amounts of 1014 00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:53,800 Speaker 16: cash and we're actually doing a really good job of 1015 00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,319 Speaker 16: actually growing the workforce and paying nurses more than they've 1016 00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:59,360 Speaker 16: ever been paid, and yet we're not getting good outcomes. 1017 00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:01,480 Speaker 16: And so that's why, you know, Samon Brown, I think 1018 00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:04,000 Speaker 16: last week, you know, we started to talk about what 1019 00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:05,759 Speaker 16: we call primary health care, which is how to get 1020 00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,040 Speaker 16: faster access to a GPS you don't clog up eds. 1021 00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,920 Speaker 16: But we also need the organization to be a high 1022 00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:11,920 Speaker 16: performing organization. 1023 00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,560 Speaker 2: It's really organization. Here's your problem. So you got rid 1024 00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:16,920 Speaker 2: of the board, or really got rid of the board 1025 00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:18,880 Speaker 2: and put in a commissioner. Now Brown's put in a 1026 00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:21,120 Speaker 2: board instead of a commissioner. It doesn't really matter whether 1027 00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,640 Speaker 2: it's commissioner a board if you've gotten competence and competences 1028 00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:25,839 Speaker 2: and competence. But when the set this is a quote 1029 00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,640 Speaker 2: from the report, the center made requests and the districts 1030 00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,880 Speaker 2: ignored them. Now that's not not knowing what's going on. 1031 00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:33,000 Speaker 2: That's sabotage. 1032 00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:38,160 Speaker 16: I think it's in competence. I think the reality was 1033 00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:41,400 Speaker 16: that was an absolutely botched merger. In the sense of 1034 00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:45,600 Speaker 16: your twenty dhps that understood their local communities, as imperfect 1035 00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:48,160 Speaker 16: as they may have been, there was advice not to 1036 00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:51,160 Speaker 16: whack them all together into one big super model called 1037 00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,759 Speaker 16: Health New Zealand. The middle of a freaking pandemic, they 1038 00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:56,160 Speaker 16: went and did it anyway. They didn't actually merge the 1039 00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:58,800 Speaker 16: entities properly, they didn't actually set up a proper organization 1040 00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:01,440 Speaker 16: with who's accountable for war. They chuck two and a 1041 00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:03,800 Speaker 16: half thousand more managers than over the top. So the 1042 00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,200 Speaker 16: bottom line is I look at it as to be honest, Mike, 1043 00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,520 Speaker 16: as I've got the money in, I'm getting the workforce growing, 1044 00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:10,600 Speaker 16: I've got clarity on what I expect the patients to 1045 00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:12,040 Speaker 16: see at the end of the day and to feel 1046 00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:12,880 Speaker 16: and to experience. 1047 00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:14,960 Speaker 2: But the issue is the delivery of it. 1048 00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:18,399 Speaker 16: Sits in the organization. It's an organizational challenge. And yes, 1049 00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:20,759 Speaker 16: we put a commissioner in for governance because we wanted 1050 00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,160 Speaker 16: to expose and get real clarity about what the hell 1051 00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:25,279 Speaker 16: was going on. We need to revert that back to 1052 00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:27,800 Speaker 16: a board, so that was entirely appropriate that he's there. 1053 00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:28,719 Speaker 4: For a year to do that job. 1054 00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:30,719 Speaker 16: We need to obviously to appoint a new CEO of 1055 00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,840 Speaker 16: Health New Zealand, new CEO of Director General of Ministry 1056 00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:35,320 Speaker 16: of Health as well, but we need to get the 1057 00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:38,040 Speaker 16: organizational structures right. You know, when you've got a large 1058 00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:41,120 Speaker 16: executive team that doesn't meet regularly, that doesn't seem to 1059 00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:43,879 Speaker 16: know who does what to who, that is just mush 1060 00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:45,640 Speaker 16: at the center, let alone. By the time it gets 1061 00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:50,040 Speaker 16: out through the organization, the fourteen layers of management, it's 1062 00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:53,920 Speaker 16: a real organizational challenge. And the money's there, the workforce 1063 00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:55,719 Speaker 16: is growing, the clarity about what we want to see 1064 00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,840 Speaker 16: from that system is clear, and it's now about execution 1065 00:49:59,239 --> 00:49:59,840 Speaker 16: of that system. 1066 00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:03,240 Speaker 2: Okay, Nikola Willis is trying to, I'm led to believe, 1067 00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:06,640 Speaker 2: negotiate her way around these rules that the Central Bank 1068 00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:08,799 Speaker 2: put in place for the retail banks as to how 1069 00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:11,080 Speaker 2: much money they need to keep aside for a rainy day. 1070 00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:14,759 Speaker 2: This is all's thing. If she can do that, does 1071 00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:16,680 Speaker 2: that still leave the Reserve Bank independent? 1072 00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:18,359 Speaker 12: Yeah? 1073 00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:18,680 Speaker 2: It does. 1074 00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,400 Speaker 16: I mean I think she's you know, she's quite entitled 1075 00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,200 Speaker 16: to and I'm encouraging, you know, of her to do that. 1076 00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:27,000 Speaker 16: Which is to say, look, banks holding less capital, if 1077 00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:29,359 Speaker 16: it actually ultimately helps it grow the economy, how does 1078 00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:32,520 Speaker 16: it do that? We should lower interest rates and therefore 1079 00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:34,640 Speaker 16: that improves productivity and that could add to growth if 1080 00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:35,920 Speaker 16: we get well. 1081 00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:37,480 Speaker 2: And I tool growth about it but I thought that 1082 00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:40,719 Speaker 2: bank governor's job, Well we. 1083 00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:43,560 Speaker 16: Can Nicholas got powers that she can actually get you 1084 00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:46,719 Speaker 16: some direction over the Reserve governor. Well, no, she's she's 1085 00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:48,560 Speaker 16: got she's got some influence on that, and so she's 1086 00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,800 Speaker 16: taking advice around what she can do around capital holdings. 1087 00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:53,560 Speaker 16: She hasn't taken anything to Cabinet. 1088 00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:54,560 Speaker 2: There isn't. 1089 00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:57,239 Speaker 16: Frankly at this point, Micah timing on it because as 1090 00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:59,560 Speaker 16: you know, we've also got this FEC Work and Finance 1091 00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,960 Speaker 16: Expendence Committee going into banking competition, and I think when 1092 00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:04,799 Speaker 16: we actually make moves, we want to make the right 1093 00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,440 Speaker 16: ones and think it all through. So that is certainly 1094 00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:09,480 Speaker 16: one of the things in the frame, which is you know, 1095 00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:10,719 Speaker 16: and why wouldn't we do it? 1096 00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,960 Speaker 2: I mean, like you, but you do have to have 1097 00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:17,279 Speaker 2: the Reserve Bank as an independent operator. If they say, well, 1098 00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:19,719 Speaker 2: as Adrian All said, we want this X number of 1099 00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:23,200 Speaker 2: billion dollars set aside, and the Finance minutster goes, well, no, sorry, 1100 00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:25,600 Speaker 2: my number is different. That makes you look like Muldoon, 1101 00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:25,960 Speaker 2: doesn't it. 1102 00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:28,360 Speaker 16: No, I don't think so. I think, you know, but 1103 00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:31,640 Speaker 16: there are powers that Nicola and any Minister of Finance has, 1104 00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:35,080 Speaker 16: and I think this is entirely appropriate. There was a 1105 00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:37,320 Speaker 16: lot of debate at the time. It's whether it was 1106 00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:39,440 Speaker 16: the right thing or not. And frankly, I'm interested in 1107 00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:41,920 Speaker 16: growth and if this means there's no question regrustrating things 1108 00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:42,600 Speaker 16: going on, we're. 1109 00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:44,759 Speaker 2: All glad All is gone. He was hopeless, But the 1110 00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:47,640 Speaker 2: point is he was independent on that the banks from 1111 00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:49,680 Speaker 2: in front of the Select Committee again yesterday, is anything 1112 00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:51,560 Speaker 2: actually happening with that? They said the same thing yesterday 1113 00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:54,040 Speaker 2: as they said the other day. They're defending the corner 1114 00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:55,279 Speaker 2: and good luck to them. But what are you doing 1115 00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:55,600 Speaker 2: about it? 1116 00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:58,279 Speaker 16: Well, there's a number of things, as we've talked about before. 1117 00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:01,360 Speaker 16: I mean, we've obviously you advice on the capital holdings. 1118 00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:04,399 Speaker 16: We've obviously taken advice also on getting capital into Kiwi 1119 00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:06,239 Speaker 16: Bank so it can get more lending, going out to 1120 00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:09,440 Speaker 16: places we've got further question and going on bank chairs 1121 00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:13,120 Speaker 16: and CEOs around. You know, while they're defunding certain sectors 1122 00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:14,840 Speaker 16: in our economy, which is not acceptable. 1123 00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:18,759 Speaker 2: Listen to what Antonia Watson said yesterday. She gave an 1124 00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:20,719 Speaker 2: explanation for that. I don't agree with it. I think 1125 00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:22,480 Speaker 2: she's wrong, but you know she's going to say that 1126 00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:24,080 Speaker 2: till she's blue in the face. Question is what do 1127 00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:26,439 Speaker 2: you can all come forward? They can all come forward. 1128 00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:28,520 Speaker 2: We'll digest what they all say and we'll put together 1129 00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:28,920 Speaker 2: a package. 1130 00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:30,600 Speaker 16: But when we make the interventions, we want to make 1131 00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:33,279 Speaker 16: sure that it's quite comprehensive and thought through and there's 1132 00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:35,120 Speaker 16: a package of interventions that actually makes. 1133 00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:38,160 Speaker 2: Sure And when are those interventions coming well? 1134 00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:41,080 Speaker 16: As I said, capital, she's taking advice on the KI 1135 00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:43,279 Speaker 16: bank piece. She's taking advice on the capital piece. The 1136 00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:45,759 Speaker 16: FEC thing is still running its way through, particularly around 1137 00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:49,200 Speaker 16: rural banking and around defunding and general questions around banking competition. 1138 00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:51,680 Speaker 16: That'll come together in the next few months. 1139 00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:54,920 Speaker 2: Okay, why taking tribunal Richard Preble quit when you're going 1140 00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:58,600 Speaker 2: to do something about that. Not Richard Prebble, but the tribunal. Yeah. 1141 00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:00,880 Speaker 16: I mean, well, we've said for a long time and 1142 00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:02,360 Speaker 16: we've got work underway. 1143 00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:04,800 Speaker 2: The students. There's a lot of work away. There's a 1144 00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:08,880 Speaker 2: lot of pieces work, a lot of pieces moving, a 1145 00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:12,560 Speaker 2: lot of time. Gee, oh my god, action time. I 1146 00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:14,319 Speaker 2: would say to you, my friend, that there is been 1147 00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:15,759 Speaker 2: a hell of a lot of action on health. Has 1148 00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:17,560 Speaker 2: been a hell of a lot of action on an infrastructure. 1149 00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:18,880 Speaker 2: Something is a hell of a lot of action going 1150 00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:21,879 Speaker 2: on into you.

That's a 1157 00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:37,799 Speaker 16: legitimate question. It's a pretty big question because it's been 1158 00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:40,000 Speaker 16: that you know, we've had it around since nineteen seventy five, 1159 00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:44,239 Speaker 16: and so that's the work that Tama, Poe, Tucker and 1160 00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:46,840 Speaker 16: others are kicking off, and so that needs to be 1161 00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,120 Speaker 16: properly thought through.

But we're working harder than any other government. 1168 00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:08,480 Speaker 16: We're putting through more legislation to get things changed and 1169 00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:10,880 Speaker 16: sorted than we've ever done. We inherit a hell of 1170 00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:13,960 Speaker 16: a mess and you know, we're we're working freaking hard 1171 00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:15,880 Speaker 16: every single day to make sure that we're cleaning up 1172 00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:17,840 Speaker 16: the mess, but more importantly seeing the country up for 1173 00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:20,280 Speaker 16: great success. I think, you know, to bring one hundred 1174 00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:22,880 Speaker 16: investors here that have got six trillion dollars for a 1175 00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,600 Speaker 16: government that's you know, under successive government's never really been that. 1176 00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:28,320 Speaker 16: You encouraging of foreign capital come to the country. 1177 00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:29,680 Speaker 2: That's good, that's good, it's all good. 1178 00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,000 Speaker 16: Just get freeway to Northlands. 1179 00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:33,279 Speaker 2: You know, are you going to get Do you go 1180 00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:35,560 Speaker 2: to India with you?

And 1242 00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:26,800 Speaker 2: it's that sort of an adequacy and incompetency that is 1243 00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:29,400 Speaker 2: holding this country back, both at local and national level. 1244 00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:30,120 Speaker 2: Ate away from it. 1245 00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:34,280 Speaker 1: The Mic Hosking breakfasts with the range rover Villa News 1246 00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:35,120 Speaker 1: togs headb. 1247 00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:37,920 Speaker 2: I'm holding back my main negotiating weapon. They just rang 1248 00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:39,920 Speaker 2: back and they were whining already about the hours and 1249 00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:41,360 Speaker 2: how we're going to do this and how we're going 1250 00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:44,560 Speaker 2: to sort it out. My main weapon in negotiation is 1251 00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:50,840 Speaker 2: John Key used to do it. How do you think 1252 00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:53,040 Speaker 2: that's going to go down? Mike? What a delight and 1253 00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:56,240 Speaker 2: he did too. He used to infuriate the gallery because 1254 00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:58,400 Speaker 2: of course the idea is the gallery travel with the 1255 00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:01,400 Speaker 2: Prime Minister, and so they get the Prime Minister exclusively 1256 00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:03,800 Speaker 2: to themselves, and then he'd ring me and they'll. 1257 00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:05,160 Speaker 14: Go hack him your ringing, Hosking. 1258 00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:08,400 Speaker 4: I think you used to infuriate his own staff as well, 1259 00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:11,560 Speaker 4: because they would tell us now quite specifically, that he 1260 00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:12,080 Speaker 4: wouldn't do. 1261 00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:15,920 Speaker 2: It, and then then he did. Yeah, exactly. So anyway, 1262 00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:18,120 Speaker 2: so we're still negotiating on that. And I will not 1263 00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:19,760 Speaker 2: take no for an answers. No reason why the prime 1264 00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:21,520 Speaker 2: ministers just because you're an India you can't ring us 1265 00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:22,960 Speaker 2: and talk to us on the program. It's not like 1266 00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:26,600 Speaker 2: something magical happens. And I'm sorry, I'm overseas. The phones 1267 00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:29,280 Speaker 2: don't work. I mean, he could say, look, I took 1268 00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:31,520 Speaker 2: I took the air Force plane and I don't know 1269 00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:33,480 Speaker 2: where I am and there's no communication. Now I may mean, 1270 00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:36,680 Speaker 2: I fully understand that, Mike. What a delight, thank you? 1271 00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:39,280 Speaker 2: Oh no, sorry, but what a delight. What other prime 1272 00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:41,640 Speaker 2: minister would have such a relaxed professional relationship and a 1273 00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:43,240 Speaker 2: good old laugh with the radio host.

But 1314 01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:27,560 Speaker 2: he's got a buy so that gives him a chance 1315 01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:29,040 Speaker 2: to jump on the phone have a word with us. 1316 01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:30,640 Speaker 3: Good morning, Yeah, good morning, thank you. 1317 01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:31,640 Speaker 4: So how did the. 1318 01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:33,920 Speaker 2: Weekend feel for you? I mean, gives must be a 1319 01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:35,520 Speaker 2: bit special given the old hometown. 1320 01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:39,320 Speaker 3: Oh, the whole week was pretty special. From you know, 1321 01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:41,560 Speaker 3: when I walked in into the venue on Monday, I 1322 01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:43,480 Speaker 3: could I just put this weird sort of feeling that 1323 01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:44,960 Speaker 3: it was going to be a wicked week and the 1324 01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:48,640 Speaker 3: venue was special with anybody in it. And then when 1325 01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:49,920 Speaker 3: it was you know, in the weekend, when it was 1326 01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:54,320 Speaker 3: atacked or twelve hundred people, it was something a memory 1327 01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:55,680 Speaker 3: that I'll sort of cheer USh forever. 1328 01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:58,120 Speaker 2: Now did it sort of look any different? I mean 1329 01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:01,080 Speaker 2: that stage or the core on the stage. I mean, 1330 01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:02,880 Speaker 2: it's not the first time it's ever been done, obviously, 1331 01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:06,320 Speaker 2: but from a player's point of view, from an esthetic anyway, 1332 01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:09,160 Speaker 2: it was absolutely brilliant. As a player. Do you notice 1333 01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:10,960 Speaker 2: it doesn't matter one hundred percent. 1334 01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:13,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I think everyone when they walked in they 1335 01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:16,440 Speaker 3: sort of got that feeling of, you know, it did 1336 01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:19,200 Speaker 3: feel special and it felt different. And I think you 1337 01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:21,880 Speaker 3: can tell by everyone thought it was really up for 1338 01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:24,120 Speaker 3: the tournament and really wanted to do well and play well. 1339 01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:27,360 Speaker 3: And I think that just goes to show how good 1340 01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:29,520 Speaker 3: the sort of venue set up was. I think, you know, 1341 01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:31,040 Speaker 3: as soon as you get something like that, you can 1342 01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:34,080 Speaker 3: see the players feed off the energy and the atmosphere 1343 01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:36,600 Speaker 3: that are there. So it was a really good week 1344 01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:39,480 Speaker 3: everyone involved, Like for me especially obviously, like you said, 1345 01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:41,800 Speaker 3: being my hometown. But you know, I know all the 1346 01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:43,880 Speaker 3: people that came from abroad had such a good time, 1347 01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:47,240 Speaker 3: and you know, the crowd welcomed them in the true kay, 1348 01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:48,200 Speaker 3: So it was great to see. 1349 01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:51,240 Speaker 2: And what about the pressure did you feel that, given 1350 01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:52,840 Speaker 2: you know, you're defending the title? 1351 01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:55,600 Speaker 3: Actually not so much, to be honest, I sort of 1352 01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:58,160 Speaker 3: the last couple of years I probably felt a bit 1353 01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:00,680 Speaker 3: more pressure playing, Yeah, but this I just sort of 1354 01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:02,520 Speaker 3: went in the mindset that I really just wanted to 1355 01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:05,600 Speaker 3: soak it all up and base it rather than try 1356 01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:07,760 Speaker 3: and block it out. So I had a lot of 1357 01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:10,360 Speaker 3: my family there and I was just just hanging out 1358 01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:12,240 Speaker 3: with them during the day and enjoying it. Then you know, 1359 01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:14,840 Speaker 3: when I went to play and seeing the crowd, I 1360 01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:17,440 Speaker 3: just sort of, you know, really soak it up rather 1361 01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:18,960 Speaker 3: than trying to block it out. I think, you know 1362 01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:20,840 Speaker 3: sometimes and I try and block it out, that it 1363 01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:24,880 Speaker 3: actually creates more more pressure and more nervous nervousness there. 1364 01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:28,120 Speaker 3: So I felt mentally felt great all week and you know, 1365 01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:30,040 Speaker 3: just trying to try and use this as a bit 1366 01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:31,800 Speaker 3: of a leaping board for the for the rest of 1367 01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:32,200 Speaker 3: the season. 1368 01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:34,200 Speaker 2: And when don't we talk about the hometown? I mean, 1369 01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:36,280 Speaker 2: is it is it really a hometown? I mean, christ 1370 01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:38,280 Speaker 2: You you came to board, didn't you. 1371 01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:38,880 Speaker 12: Yeah. 1372 01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:41,640 Speaker 3: No, I'm definitely a Greymouth boy through and through, but 1373 01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:44,720 Speaker 3: I came over here to do boarding school, so I 1374 01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:47,120 Speaker 3: have a lot of friends and most of my squash 1375 01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:50,080 Speaker 3: was played in christ Chip so definitely feels like a 1376 01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:53,560 Speaker 3: bit of a home for my squash specifically. But you know, 1377 01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:56,840 Speaker 3: I'm always a grave enough for you. But yeah, like 1378 01:02:56,960 --> 01:02:58,720 Speaker 3: it was a it was a good week to see 1379 01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:00,800 Speaker 3: so many familiar faces that I, you know, played into 1380 01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:01,920 Speaker 3: club with on a Tuesday night. 1381 01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:04,240 Speaker 2: Now the sport itself, I mean there was a record 1382 01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:06,920 Speaker 2: number of people watching that our Sun for example, he 1383 01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:09,480 Speaker 2: was at the Edinburgh Squash Club. They were all watching it. 1384 01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:11,680 Speaker 2: It seems squash has got a bit of a thing 1385 01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:12,520 Speaker 2: going at the moment. 1386 01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:15,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so, mate, for sure. We just got 1387 01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:17,520 Speaker 3: into the Olympics for the first time. Which is a 1388 01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:22,040 Speaker 3: great boost for squash. But seeing this week at christ 1389 01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:24,680 Speaker 3: Church and the New Zealand specifically, it's it's taken off 1390 01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:24,960 Speaker 3: a lot. 1391 01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:25,200 Speaker 14: Man. 1392 01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:27,560 Speaker 3: There's a lot of support around the sport in New Zealand, 1393 01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:30,080 Speaker 3: which is great to see. We've got a young junior 1394 01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:33,200 Speaker 3: coming through now which is really nice to see as well. 1395 01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:36,439 Speaker 3: So as in a pretty healthy shape in museum I think, 1396 01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:37,760 Speaker 3: and you know, if we can get a few more 1397 01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:41,000 Speaker 3: juniors coming through and pushing onto the international stage, that 1398 01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:42,760 Speaker 3: would just be like that next step that we need. 1399 01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:45,960 Speaker 3: But it's definitely a healthy community here and that just 1400 01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:48,480 Speaker 3: showed the numbers of ticket sales this week and. 1401 01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:50,880 Speaker 2: Chrish it fantastic.

You've got a title the other 1412 01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:15,000 Speaker 2: day in America, you got the title over the weekend, 1413 01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:16,400 Speaker 2: So so it's a good start, good year. 1414 01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:17,640 Speaker 13: Yes it was. 1415 01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:21,880 Speaker 3: I've been playing really well. I just haven't been getting 1416 01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:24,440 Speaker 3: the you know, the winds of the tournaments, and you know, 1417 01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:27,160 Speaker 3: that's probably just putting a bit of pressure on myself 1418 01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:29,600 Speaker 3: to win the events. So, like I said, this week, 1419 01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:32,040 Speaker 3: it was more about soaking up the atmosphere and enjoying it. 1420 01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:35,680 Speaker 3: And I played the best squash I'll played all season 1421 01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:38,800 Speaker 3: and got another title. So yeah, definitely feel feeling good 1422 01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:41,400 Speaker 3: in the mental space. And like I said, my squash 1423 01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:42,920 Speaker 3: has been there all season. I feel like I've been 1424 01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:45,440 Speaker 3: hitting it really well, just not quite pissing it all together. 1425 01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:48,800 Speaker 3: So yeah, I made I'm looking forward to pushing off 1426 01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:50,680 Speaker 3: for the rest of the season, Excited to keep playing. 1427 01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:53,240 Speaker 3: Like I said, mentally, feeling really good now and the 1428 01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:55,680 Speaker 3: squash is there. So I got a couple of big 1429 01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:58,479 Speaker 3: events that I'm really targeting coming up and just looking 1430 01:04:58,520 --> 01:04:58,960 Speaker 3: forward to those. 1431 01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:00,680 Speaker 2: I was going to ask about that, actually, So of 1432 01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:03,080 Speaker 2: all the tournaments you can play, how many do you 1433 01:05:03,240 --> 01:05:06,040 Speaker 2: target and how do you balance that up? You know, 1434 01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:08,320 Speaker 2: with travel and fitness and fatigue and stuff like that. 1435 01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:12,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, we've got probably nine big tournaments a year now, 1436 01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:17,160 Speaker 3: so obviously I try and I try and not play 1437 01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:20,400 Speaker 3: too many events before them. That takes a bit out 1438 01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:22,480 Speaker 3: of you. So normally try and have like a training 1439 01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:24,520 Speaker 3: block before the big ones, which is I said about 1440 01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:26,880 Speaker 3: nine a year, and then pick color ones around that 1441 01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:29,520 Speaker 3: that's at my timetable. Obviously open for me is one 1442 01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:31,720 Speaker 3: that I always target and want to feel good coming into, 1443 01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:34,600 Speaker 3: so that's you know, we take that off. But then 1444 01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:36,480 Speaker 3: I've got Will Champs in May, so just sort of 1445 01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:38,120 Speaker 3: trying to plan in a schedule where I'm not too 1446 01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:41,520 Speaker 3: fatigue from travel or tournament play going into that one. 1447 01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:44,320 Speaker 2: And as far as Australia goes, having got this title, 1448 01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:47,320 Speaker 2: is it the same field roughly, so you'll go and 1449 01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:49,800 Speaker 2: feeling pretty good about winning in Australia this week as 1450 01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:50,160 Speaker 2: well or not. 1451 01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:52,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely top threve in that one as well. So 1452 01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:56,240 Speaker 3: the draw definitely is pretty similar to the couple were 1453 01:05:56,320 --> 01:06:00,360 Speaker 3: coming from overseas because it's a slightly bigger event. But yeah, basically, 1454 01:06:00,560 --> 01:06:03,640 Speaker 3: you know, my jaw is actually eily similar as what 1455 01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:06,880 Speaker 3: it was this week, so yeah, looking feeling confident, and 1456 01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:10,800 Speaker 3: I'm feeling energy wise, feeling pretty good. So I have 1457 01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:12,560 Speaker 3: a lot of friends and I as well. I have 1458 01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:14,920 Speaker 3: I played a lot of my squash there when I 1459 01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:17,600 Speaker 3: started that professional so I haven't been back there and 1460 01:06:17,720 --> 01:06:20,439 Speaker 3: you know, ten ideas, So looking forward to to kicking 1461 01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:21,480 Speaker 3: off there in a few days now. 1462 01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:23,560 Speaker 2: You mentioned the World Champions in Chicago this year, and 1463 01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:25,560 Speaker 2: I know there's another big one in Washington coming up 1464 01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:29,080 Speaker 2: as well. Is America playing an increasingly large role or 1465 01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:31,200 Speaker 2: sort of omniprison and squash or am I just making 1466 01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:31,520 Speaker 2: that up? 1467 01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:34,680 Speaker 3: No, They've always got you know, it's quite a lot 1468 01:06:34,680 --> 01:06:37,080 Speaker 3: of importament's floating around in America. I think it's quite 1469 01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:41,120 Speaker 3: the problem they have is squash has paid in you 1470 01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:43,400 Speaker 3: know a lot of country clubs where the joining sea 1471 01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:46,560 Speaker 3: is very very expensive, so not everyone has the access 1472 01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:49,560 Speaker 3: to play squass there. But there's a definitely like a 1473 01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:51,840 Speaker 3: like I said, a lot of sort of courts and 1474 01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:54,920 Speaker 3: stuff around. It's just getting the accessibilities to everyone. I 1475 01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:58,959 Speaker 3: think the Olympics, especially being in America, that definitely making 1476 01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:02,680 Speaker 3: this was that and I think that's a whole lot 1477 01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:05,120 Speaker 3: of centers that are are more public rather than private 1478 01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:07,800 Speaker 3: which is is great to see. And yeah, like there's 1479 01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:11,800 Speaker 3: definitely some really strong woman coming through and some younger 1480 01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:13,640 Speaker 3: guys coming through as well. They're doing really well at 1481 01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:15,720 Speaker 3: the junior level now, so their program is doing well. 1482 01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:18,360 Speaker 2: So in general you would argue, what in terms of 1483 01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:20,800 Speaker 2: talent and players and young people coming through the game 1484 01:07:21,040 --> 01:07:22,280 Speaker 2: is improving. 1485 01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:26,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. There's definitely definitely some more countries getting involved, 1486 01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:31,080 Speaker 3: which is great to see, and some countries that you 1487 01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:33,280 Speaker 3: might not expect, like used to be a powerhouse and 1488 01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:35,560 Speaker 3: Aussie but you know, they're not sort of there anymore. 1489 01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:37,920 Speaker 3: But there's a few more countries like America stepping up 1490 01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:40,320 Speaker 3: and it's great to see that the sport's going quite 1491 01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:40,840 Speaker 3: global now. 1492 01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:42,800 Speaker 2: And when you mentioned the Olympics, I mean, have you 1493 01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:45,720 Speaker 2: thought about how you target that? What does it mean? 1494 01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:48,680 Speaker 2: I mean, as a world championship more important than a 1495 01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:50,439 Speaker 2: gold medal, advice versa, it doesn't matter. 1496 01:07:50,640 --> 01:07:53,320 Speaker 3: It's been quite funny for me, as you know, I'm 1497 01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:56,120 Speaker 3: late in my career, but it's it's like a new 1498 01:07:56,560 --> 01:07:59,840 Speaker 3: process from me. I've never had an Olympic campaign and 1499 01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:02,240 Speaker 3: so i'm you know, speaking to a few people from 1500 01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:04,400 Speaker 3: high performance sport just on how you sort of prep 1501 01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:08,040 Speaker 3: for an Olympic campaign, which is it's quite weird because it's, 1502 01:08:08,080 --> 01:08:10,000 Speaker 3: you know, a four year process, and like I said, 1503 01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:11,760 Speaker 3: this is I'm thirty two, and this is the first 1504 01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:13,520 Speaker 3: time I've sort of thought about a four year plan. 1505 01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:17,640 Speaker 3: I've always thought about having World Champs every month one 1506 01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:19,920 Speaker 3: it's once every year, but this is obviously like a 1507 01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:22,360 Speaker 3: four year plan. So it's quite cool to experience it. 1508 01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:25,000 Speaker 3: And you know, you sort of when you get involved 1509 01:08:25,040 --> 01:08:27,360 Speaker 3: with prepping for an Olympic Games, you really feel how 1510 01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:30,720 Speaker 3: important it is. So I'm super excited for that. But 1511 01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:33,080 Speaker 3: you know, I've got a few will Champs between now 1512 01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:35,080 Speaker 3: and then, so I'm sort of focusing on the World Champs, 1513 01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:38,760 Speaker 3: but definitely in the Olympics. And there's something pretty big 1514 01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:38,960 Speaker 3: for me. 1515 01:08:39,160 --> 01:08:41,559 Speaker 2: Fantastic. And when you talk about late in your career, 1516 01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:44,559 Speaker 2: what are your thoughts around that, what are you looking at? Physical? Mental? 1517 01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:45,080 Speaker 2: Bit of both? 1518 01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:46,519 Speaker 9: Yeah, both. 1519 01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:49,360 Speaker 3: Obviously, I think squash is a very physical sport, so 1520 01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:52,800 Speaker 3: if you don't, you know, I'm pretty smart of my body. 1521 01:08:52,880 --> 01:08:55,000 Speaker 3: But you know, I mean, age is definitely a factor. 1522 01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:57,480 Speaker 3: If you start slowing down, then it's just a disadvantage 1523 01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:00,519 Speaker 3: purelyer there, so it's about, you know, keeping my schedule 1524 01:09:01,080 --> 01:09:04,280 Speaker 3: and my training that keeps me in shape too later 1525 01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:07,160 Speaker 3: in my career. But I mean the way the technologies 1526 01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:08,800 Speaker 3: go in these days that you can play till you're 1527 01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:12,439 Speaker 3: thirty five for six thirty eight, it's obviously just a 1528 01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:15,080 Speaker 3: lot depends on the sort of physical side. I think, 1529 01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:17,000 Speaker 3: you know, mentally it's pretty easy to get up for 1530 01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:18,639 Speaker 3: a little bit game or a World champ, so it's 1531 01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:21,160 Speaker 3: not really an issue. But obviously that's the body's not 1532 01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:22,640 Speaker 3: doing what the mine wants to do, then you've got 1533 01:09:22,680 --> 01:09:23,320 Speaker 3: a bit of an issue. 1534 01:09:23,360 --> 01:09:27,040 Speaker 2: Brilliant. Congratulations again on the weekend. Go well in Australia 1535 01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:29,000 Speaker 2: this week and hopefully we'll talk again before the end 1536 01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:29,360 Speaker 2: of the year. 1537 01:09:29,760 --> 01:09:31,000 Speaker 3: Thanks quite really appreciating cool. 1538 01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:33,240 Speaker 2: Nowhere is it all talk?

We should talk to somebody about it. Sometimes, 1545 01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:50,679 Speaker 2: you know, when you're thirty five, thirty six, thirty seven. 1546 01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:52,120 Speaker 2: You're thinking, right, this is coming to an end. 1547 01:09:52,200 --> 01:09:52,679 Speaker 4: What next? 1548 01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:57,120 Speaker 2: Big decisions?

And that's before I get to the tweet 1643 01:14:15,760 --> 01:14:20,160 Speaker 2: this morning from the Radio New Zealand reporter, which does 1644 01:14:20,240 --> 01:14:24,479 Speaker 2: mean are you allowed to tweet editorially speaking if you're 1645 01:14:24,479 --> 01:14:26,280 Speaker 2: a Radio New Zealand reporter, isn't it? Is that a 1646 01:14:26,360 --> 01:14:28,000 Speaker 2: fair question to ask? Anyway, I'll give you the full 1647 01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:30,240 Speaker 2: details on us right after the news, which is next 1648 01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:31,080 Speaker 2: your news. 1649 01:14:30,920 --> 01:14:36,400 Speaker 1: Talks, evil news, opinion and everything in between. The mic 1650 01:14:36,479 --> 01:14:40,160 Speaker 1: hosting break best with the range rover Vilain designed to 1651 01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:41,960 Speaker 1: intrigue and use talks he'd. 1652 01:14:41,800 --> 01:14:44,559 Speaker 2: Be Jones closes in about twenty two to twenty three minutes. 1653 01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:46,439 Speaker 2: Is trying it's very best to claw back some of 1654 01:14:46,479 --> 01:14:48,639 Speaker 2: the losses for the day, but down the eight hundred 1655 01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:51,800 Speaker 2: and fifty points. At the moment, the Nasdak's an even 1656 01:14:51,880 --> 01:14:53,800 Speaker 2: bigger blood bath. Mike I was talking to a member 1657 01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:56,560 Speaker 2: of lux AND's trade visit to Vietnam. He said, of 1658 01:14:56,640 --> 01:14:58,840 Speaker 2: New Zealanders, knew how good our prime minister is, he 1659 01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:01,720 Speaker 2: would have no problems. Apparently he's amazing working the room, 1660 01:15:01,800 --> 01:15:04,040 Speaker 2: talking to everyone in the Vietnamese loved him. After the 1661 01:15:04,080 --> 01:15:05,880 Speaker 2: past couple of years, you would think we'd be over 1662 01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:08,080 Speaker 2: show pony prime ministers, but it would seem we prefer 1663 01:15:08,120 --> 01:15:09,960 Speaker 2: a lack of substance. Ninetil. It's a very good point 1664 01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:13,760 Speaker 2: you make, and I reference Jason Wall's piece, which I 1665 01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:16,639 Speaker 2: think was not this last Saturday, but the Saturday before 1666 01:15:17,439 --> 01:15:19,920 Speaker 2: when he came back from Vietnam. Essentially look it up. 1667 01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:23,040 Speaker 2: It's worth reading. He essentially says the same thing. But 1668 01:15:23,160 --> 01:15:25,760 Speaker 2: that doesn't change the fact that you can be good 1669 01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:29,080 Speaker 2: at one bit but not necessarily good at another. And 1670 01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:31,680 Speaker 2: polls are real to the extent that even if you 1671 01:15:31,720 --> 01:15:33,920 Speaker 2: don't accept yesterday's pole, which I think anyone with half 1672 01:15:33,920 --> 01:15:36,839 Speaker 2: a brain wouldn't for reasons I outlined earlier in the program, 1673 01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:41,680 Speaker 2: but it nevertheless, it's a thing there is a disconnect 1674 01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:45,080 Speaker 2: between Luxeon's ability to connect with regular in New Zealanders 1675 01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:47,360 Speaker 2: and his ability to do his job as Prime Minister. 1676 01:15:47,400 --> 01:15:50,320 Speaker 2: They're two separate things. One he's struggling with and whether 1677 01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:52,679 Speaker 2: or not that becomes an ongoing, if not bigger issue, 1678 01:15:53,560 --> 01:15:55,360 Speaker 2: it's something we watch and wait. Well, I guess twenty 1679 01:15:55,400 --> 01:15:56,240 Speaker 2: two minutes away from. 1680 01:15:56,200 --> 01:16:00,400 Speaker 1: Nine International correspondence with ends in eye insurance peace of 1681 01:16:00,479 --> 01:16:02,040 Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business. 1682 01:16:03,040 --> 01:16:04,200 Speaker 2: From Britain road morning to you. 1683 01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:06,599 Speaker 12: Good morning mate. 1684 01:16:06,840 --> 01:16:09,360 Speaker 2: So I've got one ship packed, I've got another one 1685 01:16:09,439 --> 01:16:11,479 Speaker 2: on autopilot. What can possibly go wrong? 1686 01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:17,000 Speaker 12: Well, indeed, and it's what those ships were carrying. You 1687 01:16:17,120 --> 01:16:21,920 Speaker 12: couldn't have confected in your mind a more dangerous combination. 1688 01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:29,880 Speaker 12: One ship an American ship conveying jet fuel kerosene presumably 1689 01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:34,960 Speaker 12: to Ukraine actually, and the other one carrying twelve huge 1690 01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:41,320 Speaker 12: clusters of sodium cyanide. And this collision happened in the 1691 01:16:41,760 --> 01:16:46,719 Speaker 12: Humber Estuery, just outside the Humber Estuary on the east 1692 01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:50,080 Speaker 12: coast of Britain, at the northeast coast of Britain, next 1693 01:16:50,120 --> 01:16:56,320 Speaker 12: to a very very environmentally important area for birds and wildlife, 1694 01:16:57,320 --> 01:17:00,920 Speaker 12: and there's a huge worry. The worry firstly about the 1695 01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:05,080 Speaker 12: kerosene that will undoubtedly which we know has spilled. It's 1696 01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:08,600 Speaker 12: burning off at the moment, but we know that it 1697 01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:13,600 Speaker 12: is lethal to wildlife, but not as lethal as sodium cyandite. 1698 01:17:14,280 --> 01:17:17,160 Speaker 12: And we don't know whether any of those canisters have 1699 01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:20,760 Speaker 12: ruptured yet. But the scenes that I'm looking at, you know, 1700 01:17:22,560 --> 01:17:26,519 Speaker 12: from the Humber don't look terribly good. Billowing black smoke, 1701 01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:32,799 Speaker 12: tugs in attendance, thirty six people brought home from the ships, 1702 01:17:33,560 --> 01:17:36,719 Speaker 12: and the Humber restureally closed to all traffic, the Humber 1703 01:17:37,479 --> 01:17:41,480 Speaker 12: port of Immingham incidentally being the second most important container 1704 01:17:41,600 --> 01:17:42,559 Speaker 12: port in Europe. 1705 01:17:42,760 --> 01:17:44,439 Speaker 2: All right, well, we'll see what happens over the next 1706 01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:46,479 Speaker 2: day or so. Because they're worried about the environment. Obviously, 1707 01:17:46,560 --> 01:17:50,000 Speaker 2: this guy Amesbury is quit run corn and hillsby fifteen 1708 01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:50,879 Speaker 2: thousand majority. 1709 01:17:50,920 --> 01:17:51,280 Speaker 3: Go take it. 1710 01:17:51,320 --> 01:17:52,479 Speaker 2: We've got a buy election on him. 1711 01:17:52,600 --> 01:17:56,599 Speaker 12: We yeah, we've got to buy election on And one 1712 01:17:56,640 --> 01:17:59,160 Speaker 12: would normally say this might lead us in what we 1713 01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:02,040 Speaker 12: talk about next, that it would be a kind of 1714 01:18:02,720 --> 01:18:06,679 Speaker 12: open goal for reform. UK Aims re held the seat 1715 01:18:07,200 --> 01:18:11,040 Speaker 12: at the last election with a huge majority. In fairness, 1716 01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:13,719 Speaker 12: you know, fifty two point nine percent of the vote 1717 01:18:14,600 --> 01:18:18,680 Speaker 12: over a Reform who came second with seven thousand. He 1718 01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:22,160 Speaker 12: got twenty two thousand. But such as the state of 1719 01:18:22,240 --> 01:18:24,400 Speaker 12: the Labor Party at the moment, although it's had a 1720 01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:28,880 Speaker 12: bit of a bounce from Secure Starmer's endeavors abroad, but 1721 01:18:29,040 --> 01:18:31,800 Speaker 12: not much of a bounce. But reform itself is in 1722 01:18:31,960 --> 01:18:37,040 Speaker 12: huge trouble, and that that's the story, which is when 1723 01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:40,000 Speaker 12: you talk about reform is dominating headlines at the moment. 1724 01:18:40,360 --> 01:18:43,400 Speaker 12: So you know, you would guess, you would guess that 1725 01:18:43,880 --> 01:18:46,040 Speaker 12: if there were a by election tomorrow, reform would we 1726 01:18:46,680 --> 01:18:48,520 Speaker 12: But it's not that straightforward. 1727 01:18:48,640 --> 01:18:52,120 Speaker 2: No indeed, So Rupert how allows your men, I know 1728 01:18:52,200 --> 01:18:55,240 Speaker 2: whose lawyer was busy trying to distance themselves from him, 1729 01:18:55,680 --> 01:18:57,839 Speaker 2: claiming that that's in a whole bunch of stuff allegedly 1730 01:18:57,920 --> 01:18:59,760 Speaker 2: they happened. And then you've got, I mean, what's what's 1731 01:18:59,760 --> 01:19:01,120 Speaker 2: gone wrong here? What's happened? 1732 01:19:03,560 --> 01:19:11,480 Speaker 12: It happens with remarkable frequency, where with Nigel Farage personable 1733 01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:16,120 Speaker 12: and charismatic though he undoubtedly is. There are are only 1734 01:19:16,240 --> 01:19:19,400 Speaker 12: five MP's in the House of Commons, but they're already 1735 01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:23,920 Speaker 12: split and one of them has been suspended. And of 1736 01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:27,479 Speaker 12: course Rupert Lowe who's the MP for Great Yarmouth, was 1737 01:19:27,520 --> 01:19:30,920 Speaker 12: suspended only a day after he'd made an announcement saying 1738 01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:34,479 Speaker 12: that all the Nigel Farage wasn't running the party terribly well, 1739 01:19:34,920 --> 01:19:38,400 Speaker 12: and suddenly the party decides to call the police and 1740 01:19:38,560 --> 01:19:42,599 Speaker 12: have him prosecuted for a supposed act of physical abuse. 1741 01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:47,439 Speaker 12: It is remarkable that they cannot get on even when 1742 01:19:47,479 --> 01:19:50,519 Speaker 12: there's just five of them. And yet you look back 1743 01:19:50,600 --> 01:19:55,200 Speaker 12: at the record with the Reform and UKIP and there's 1744 01:19:55,280 --> 01:19:59,120 Speaker 12: always this problem. You know, anyone who criticizes the leader 1745 01:19:59,479 --> 01:20:01,880 Speaker 12: is pushed out and it's something which is in common, 1746 01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:04,759 Speaker 12: you have to say, with quite a few right wing parties. 1747 01:20:06,640 --> 01:20:09,559 Speaker 12: I've tried to get hold of the Nigel Farage today 1748 01:20:09,680 --> 01:20:12,439 Speaker 12: to talk to him about what's going on. No reply, 1749 01:20:12,600 --> 01:20:16,439 Speaker 12: and he usually replies quite quickly. Rupert Lowe hasn't replied. 1750 01:20:17,040 --> 01:20:22,200 Speaker 12: You're right. His lawyer has distanced himself from Rupert low 1751 01:20:22,240 --> 01:20:24,439 Speaker 12: which isn't a great thing to happen with a lawyer, 1752 01:20:25,040 --> 01:20:28,800 Speaker 12: I think in the scheme of things. So it is 1753 01:20:28,920 --> 01:20:33,640 Speaker 12: a real real mess. And you know, Reform again, I 1754 01:20:33,840 --> 01:20:37,280 Speaker 12: say it again. They've hit twenty five percent in the polls. 1755 01:20:37,760 --> 01:20:40,920 Speaker 12: They're not getting any higher and they're probably going to 1756 01:20:41,040 --> 01:20:44,439 Speaker 12: drop a bit as a consequence of this. We may 1757 01:20:44,600 --> 01:20:48,400 Speaker 12: be that we've seen the ceiling for reform photes. I 1758 01:20:48,520 --> 01:20:48,800 Speaker 12: don't know. 1759 01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:50,920 Speaker 2: Hey, listen, just a couple of quick things I've been 1760 01:20:50,960 --> 01:20:53,680 Speaker 2: reading about. I want you to take on Starmer. Was 1761 01:20:53,880 --> 01:20:57,479 Speaker 2: I was suggested that he's going to pay people. This 1762 01:20:57,680 --> 01:21:00,479 Speaker 2: is officials and mandarins and people on the public to quit. 1763 01:21:00,680 --> 01:21:03,320 Speaker 2: Is this sort of those UK styles? Is he riding 1764 01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:04,400 Speaker 2: the public service? 1765 01:21:06,200 --> 01:21:09,680 Speaker 12: It's doge divided by one hundred, but yes it is. 1766 01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:14,479 Speaker 12: It is doge. Unquestionably, they are trying to pair back 1767 01:21:15,760 --> 01:21:20,120 Speaker 12: the vast amounts of money was spending on public expenditure. 1768 01:21:21,280 --> 01:21:25,200 Speaker 12: So for example, civil service did reduce under the Tories, 1769 01:21:25,240 --> 01:21:31,400 Speaker 12: but then has massively increased since COVID. Fifteen thousand new 1770 01:21:31,560 --> 01:21:35,000 Speaker 12: jobs been brought in since twenty twenty. And what are 1771 01:21:35,040 --> 01:21:37,600 Speaker 12: they doing. They're all working from home so far as 1772 01:21:37,680 --> 01:21:40,920 Speaker 12: we can tell. So there is an awful lot of 1773 01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:44,080 Speaker 12: fact to be prune there and Sakir Starman needs to 1774 01:21:44,360 --> 01:21:46,680 Speaker 12: prove a lot of that fat And it's interesting what 1775 01:21:46,760 --> 01:21:49,240 Speaker 12: you were saying about the situation in New Zealand. It's 1776 01:21:49,840 --> 01:21:52,080 Speaker 12: very similar here that here we have a prime minister 1777 01:21:53,000 --> 01:21:59,679 Speaker 12: who is incredibly adept abroad and walking that title between 1778 01:21:59,720 --> 01:22:02,640 Speaker 12: Europe in the USA, but when it comes to connecting 1779 01:22:02,760 --> 01:22:06,599 Speaker 12: with the British voters doesn't have it. I do think 1780 01:22:06,680 --> 01:22:10,960 Speaker 12: a new reality has gripshold of Labor and you know 1781 01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:15,600 Speaker 12: this attempt to pair back to the big state, the 1782 01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:21,000 Speaker 12: war on long term sickness, benefit claimants who are swinging 1783 01:22:21,080 --> 01:22:24,720 Speaker 12: the lead, both things which you wouldn't have expected the 1784 01:22:24,800 --> 01:22:27,960 Speaker 12: Labor Party to do, but it is doing and with 1785 01:22:28,080 --> 01:22:29,000 Speaker 12: a lot of support. 1786 01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:31,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a centrist type Labor Party, isn't it. I'm 1787 01:22:31,800 --> 01:22:34,240 Speaker 2: necessary Rod will catch up on Thursday. Appreciate it as always. 1788 01:22:34,439 --> 01:22:36,080 Speaker 2: The other couple of things, by the way, I noted 1789 01:22:36,120 --> 01:22:39,479 Speaker 2: in Britain into a couple of Bulgarians were found guilty 1790 01:22:39,560 --> 01:22:43,919 Speaker 2: of spying for Russia. They had day jobs as a beautian, 1791 01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:49,360 Speaker 2: a healthcare worker and a decorator. They want they're watering 1792 01:22:49,439 --> 01:22:51,720 Speaker 2: down phone use. They were going to try and bend 1793 01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:54,320 Speaker 2: smartphones from schools. They can't get the support, so they're 1794 01:22:54,320 --> 01:22:56,519 Speaker 2: watering that down and they want more schools to be 1795 01:22:56,560 --> 01:22:59,880 Speaker 2: asked to supervised teeth brushing. There's something dreadfully wrong with 1796 01:23:00,040 --> 01:23:04,000 Speaker 2: the country that is telling schools to watch kids brush 1797 01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:06,519 Speaker 2: their teeth. It's been going on for years and poor 1798 01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:08,680 Speaker 2: parts of the poor parts of Britain, but they want 1799 01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:12,160 Speaker 2: school and nursery staff in deprived areas of England to 1800 01:23:12,200 --> 01:23:15,120 Speaker 2: be asked to supervise kids brushing their teeth. Heaven forbid 1801 01:23:15,160 --> 01:23:17,840 Speaker 2: their educate them. But you've got to feed them, you 1802 01:23:17,920 --> 01:23:20,400 Speaker 2: got to brush your teeth. It's like, jeez, it's like 1803 01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:23,080 Speaker 2: a social welfare department, isn't it. Eight forty five. 1804 01:23:24,760 --> 01:23:29,160 Speaker 1: The Like Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 1805 01:23:29,200 --> 01:23:30,200 Speaker 1: by News Talks at be. 1806 01:23:31,560 --> 01:23:33,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking of the state doing everything. There's a tweet 1807 01:23:33,920 --> 01:23:36,920 Speaker 2: out this morning from a woman called a Newsha Bradley. 1808 01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:38,559 Speaker 2: Now I know not of her, but I am told 1809 01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:41,160 Speaker 2: she's a senior journalist at the State Broadcast, a radio 1810 01:23:41,160 --> 01:23:42,920 Speaker 2: in New Zealand. So it's seven fifteen this morning. She 1811 01:23:42,960 --> 01:23:45,439 Speaker 2: tweets out, for the first time in four years, my 1812 01:23:45,600 --> 01:23:48,120 Speaker 2: teen is taking a packed lunch to school today. He's 1813 01:23:48,160 --> 01:23:49,840 Speaker 2: asked if he can take his own from now on, 1814 01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:52,920 Speaker 2: saying the new lunches are tiny and inedible. A lot 1815 01:23:52,960 --> 01:23:54,400 Speaker 2: of the kids at this school won't have the option 1816 01:23:54,520 --> 01:23:57,360 Speaker 2: of taking food from home. So that's a political statement obviously, 1817 01:23:57,600 --> 01:23:59,800 Speaker 2: and I would have argued that if you're funded by 1818 01:23:59,800 --> 01:24:03,840 Speaker 2: the taxpayer as a journalist and allegedly down the middle, 1819 01:24:03,880 --> 01:24:05,680 Speaker 2: no fear, no favor, and all of those sort of things, 1820 01:24:05,720 --> 01:24:08,400 Speaker 2: that somehow that sort of tweets somehow not allowed, I 1821 01:24:08,479 --> 01:24:12,960 Speaker 2: may be completely out of touch. Furthermore, I'm told as 1822 01:24:13,040 --> 01:24:15,120 Speaker 2: a senior journalist that radio in New Zealand sho'ld be 1823 01:24:15,160 --> 01:24:17,320 Speaker 2: earning a good salary should be in six figures. And 1824 01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:20,799 Speaker 2: this is a six figure earning person who's seemingly happily 1825 01:24:20,840 --> 01:24:22,840 Speaker 2: watched the state pay for her child's lunch for four 1826 01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:25,639 Speaker 2: years and not at any point wandered to herself whether 1827 01:24:25,760 --> 01:24:29,439 Speaker 2: or not either her or her partner or her child 1828 01:24:29,560 --> 01:24:31,280 Speaker 2: might like to make I don't know, some sort of 1829 01:24:31,320 --> 01:24:34,080 Speaker 2: effort to do their own lunch. Does this not strike 1830 01:24:34,160 --> 01:24:37,639 Speaker 2: you as extremely weird? But maybe that's how it rolls 1831 01:24:37,760 --> 01:24:40,599 Speaker 2: at the state broadcast of these days. It's just whatever. 1832 01:24:41,439 --> 01:24:43,479 Speaker 2: But it does go back to my ongoing theme that 1833 01:24:43,560 --> 01:24:45,240 Speaker 2: the school lunch thing of the last week or so 1834 01:24:46,120 --> 01:24:48,760 Speaker 2: is a pileon. There's no question it's a pileon, and 1835 01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:52,520 Speaker 2: it's a politically motivated pilon. I read with a great delimitrist. 1836 01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:55,160 Speaker 2: They're celebrating v Day the eightieth this year. I quite 1837 01:24:55,320 --> 01:24:57,320 Speaker 2: like to go to London for the eightieth of the day. 1838 01:24:57,520 --> 01:25:00,800 Speaker 2: I quite like that it's in May. Can be nice, 1839 01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:03,200 Speaker 2: not always, but can be fifth of May through the 1840 01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:05,679 Speaker 2: eighth being the Poms. I'll do the four fall days. 1841 01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:07,479 Speaker 2: Why would you want to possibly mark a single day 1842 01:25:07,479 --> 01:25:09,600 Speaker 2: when you can have four. But they're gonna have a 1843 01:25:09,680 --> 01:25:12,680 Speaker 2: nice Westminster Abbey service? Are they going to have a 1844 01:25:12,720 --> 01:25:14,760 Speaker 2: fly pass? There's nothing like a fly past in London. 1845 01:25:14,800 --> 01:25:17,000 Speaker 2: I've done seen several fly pasts in London. Probably the 1846 01:25:17,040 --> 01:25:19,439 Speaker 2: greatest moment of my No, that's not true. One of 1847 01:25:19,479 --> 01:25:21,800 Speaker 2: the most memorable days of my life. As I was 1848 01:25:21,800 --> 01:25:25,560 Speaker 2: sitting standing at the hotel window, and the hotel I 1849 01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:27,880 Speaker 2: was staying at had a view of Westminster Bridge and 1850 01:25:28,400 --> 01:25:32,160 Speaker 2: the Parliament and the wheel just to the right of 1851 01:25:32,200 --> 01:25:35,680 Speaker 2: you know, heading looking directly towards Buckingham Pallace. And then 1852 01:25:35,800 --> 01:25:39,320 Speaker 2: suddenly there's noise, this rumbling noise, and I thought these 1853 01:25:39,360 --> 01:25:42,360 Speaker 2: are plane, surely there's are planes. And then straight so 1854 01:25:42,960 --> 01:25:46,280 Speaker 2: close to the roof of the hotel you couldn't believe it, 1855 01:25:46,640 --> 01:25:50,000 Speaker 2: they came and it was just fantastic to watch, so 1856 01:25:50,400 --> 01:25:52,920 Speaker 2: they're celebrating that, and then they also celebrating at the moment. 1857 01:25:53,240 --> 01:25:56,240 Speaker 2: Speaking of the Eye twenty five twenty five, the London 1858 01:25:56,280 --> 01:25:59,960 Speaker 2: Eye twenty five is that the most disappointing tourist train 1859 01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:01,880 Speaker 2: action you've ever been to if you've been to the 1860 01:26:01,920 --> 01:26:04,040 Speaker 2: London eight and warning, if you've never been to the 1861 01:26:04,080 --> 01:26:05,479 Speaker 2: London Eye and you want to go to London, you 1862 01:26:05,560 --> 01:26:07,320 Speaker 2: end up in London going oh, so London, I might 1863 01:26:07,600 --> 01:26:10,400 Speaker 2: don't well, it's one of those things and it goes 1864 01:26:10,560 --> 01:26:15,080 Speaker 2: so slowly and London's so low rise that once you've 1865 01:26:15,120 --> 01:26:17,880 Speaker 2: seen the main bit of low rise London, there's nothing 1866 01:26:17,920 --> 01:26:19,360 Speaker 2: more to see. But you're still on it for another 1867 01:26:19,479 --> 01:26:20,560 Speaker 2: hour and you're thinking. 1868 01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:23,479 Speaker 4: At least it goes unlike that one in Melbourne. 1869 01:26:24,400 --> 01:26:27,200 Speaker 2: Very good point. It does go, but so slow. It's 1870 01:26:27,280 --> 01:26:29,800 Speaker 2: so slow it doesn't even stop to allow you to 1871 01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:31,439 Speaker 2: step on. You know those ones like you know you 1872 01:26:31,600 --> 01:26:33,360 Speaker 2: go to the cable car in Queenstown and it will 1873 01:26:33,360 --> 01:26:35,120 Speaker 2: slow down to the point where it's virtually stopped. You 1874 01:26:35,200 --> 01:26:37,960 Speaker 2: jump on. This is so slow it literally never stops, 1875 01:26:38,280 --> 01:26:40,920 Speaker 2: and even the elderly and and firm can hop on 1876 01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:44,920 Speaker 2: with plenty of time to spare like you if you 1877 01:26:45,040 --> 01:26:48,080 Speaker 2: want nine minutes away from nine the. 1878 01:26:48,280 --> 01:26:53,040 Speaker 1: Make Hosking breakfast with al Vida, Retirement, Communities News togs Head, 1879 01:26:53,080 --> 01:26:53,920 Speaker 1: be real quick. 1880 01:26:54,400 --> 01:26:56,679 Speaker 2: Talks in the Middle East start again today in Qatar. 1881 01:26:57,400 --> 01:26:59,160 Speaker 2: They've turned the power off. The aid's not going in. 1882 01:26:59,240 --> 01:27:01,360 Speaker 2: So let's take that game where the bloke who was running, 1883 01:27:01,520 --> 01:27:03,840 Speaker 2: he is the far right Gigescu, who was running in 1884 01:27:03,840 --> 01:27:07,920 Speaker 2: the Romanian rerun of the presidentials. He's been banned. So 1885 01:27:08,080 --> 01:27:10,040 Speaker 2: that's one for the next twenty four hours because that'll 1886 01:27:10,320 --> 01:27:13,120 Speaker 2: take off. That goes back to Vance's speech the other day, right, 1887 01:27:13,240 --> 01:27:15,400 Speaker 2: Remember he was talking about democracy and the people's voices 1888 01:27:15,760 --> 01:27:19,040 Speaker 2: and the president Yun is free. This actually happened yesterday. 1889 01:27:19,040 --> 01:27:20,280 Speaker 2: I forgot to tell you about it. But you know, 1890 01:27:20,360 --> 01:27:23,040 Speaker 2: the guy did the martial law in Korea. Then they 1891 01:27:23,160 --> 01:27:24,720 Speaker 2: rundled him up. It took a while to round him 1892 01:27:24,760 --> 01:27:25,840 Speaker 2: up because they went to the palace and noe and 1893 01:27:25,960 --> 01:27:27,360 Speaker 2: led him in. But anyway, they ran it him up, 1894 01:27:27,360 --> 01:27:31,160 Speaker 2: took him to court. They've now set him the trial continues, 1895 01:27:31,200 --> 01:27:34,840 Speaker 2: but his containment has seen as slightly dodgy, so he's out. 1896 01:27:35,479 --> 01:27:37,519 Speaker 2: So there's a lot going Jesus lot going on the 1897 01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:40,280 Speaker 2: moment five minutes away from nine trending. 1898 01:27:40,200 --> 01:27:44,120 Speaker 1: Now with M Square House the home of big brand ftalments. 1899 01:27:44,200 --> 01:27:44,280 Speaker 17: Right. 1900 01:27:44,360 --> 01:27:46,479 Speaker 2: I look up this video today.

Elilah Everett is running beside Kaylin Tucker. 1903 01:27:55,439 --> 01:27:59,800 Speaker 2: Everett takes her batten and smashes it into Tucker's head. 1904 01:28:00,680 --> 01:28:05,639 Speaker 2: Everyone becomes outraged. Anyway, Elilah is now doing the interview 1905 01:28:05,720 --> 01:28:08,759 Speaker 2: that she claims it's a mistake and she's the victim. 1906 01:28:08,880 --> 01:28:14,160 Speaker 17: Everybody has feelings, so you're physically hurt, but you're not 1907 01:28:14,320 --> 01:28:17,920 Speaker 17: thinking of my mental right. They're going off of one 1908 01:28:18,080 --> 01:28:21,599 Speaker 17: angle that comple size hitting her mother. Time got stuck 1909 01:28:21,680 --> 01:28:24,639 Speaker 17: behind her back like this and it rolled up her back. 1910 01:28:25,080 --> 01:28:27,280 Speaker 17: I lost my balance and when I pumped my arms again, 1911 01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:29,880 Speaker 17: she got hit.

It looks 1916 01:28:42,760 --> 01:28:47,160 Speaker 2: pretty compelling to me. If I was judged Judy, I'd 1917 01:28:47,240 --> 01:28:48,960 Speaker 2: go to the break and sale have my verdict after 1918 01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:50,479 Speaker 2: the break. But once I came back from the break, 1919 01:28:50,520 --> 01:28:53,080 Speaker 2: she'd be she'd be doing she'd be doing time. I mean, 1920 01:28:53,120 --> 01:28:55,800 Speaker 2: there's not just not getting around there. That's been a 1921 01:28:55,840 --> 01:28:58,760 Speaker 2: good shot. I thoroughly enjoyed that. Actually felt a bit 1922 01:28:58,800 --> 01:29:00,840 Speaker 2: sick this morning. At two this morning thought do I 1923 01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:02,800 Speaker 2: feel a bit queasy?
